How to make Almond Flour Shortbread Cookies: step-by-step guide
Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Gather and measure all the ingredients.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take the butter out of the fridge to let it soften to room temperature.
Cooking instructions
- Combine almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
- Add softened butter and egg to the dry mixture and combine all the ingredients until a dough forms.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter or mold to cut out desired shapes. Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each.
- Poke some holes in them with a fork and bake in the oven for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once they cool down, you can enjoy the crunchy shortbread cookies.
Chef's pro tip
For easier rolling and better flavor, put the cookie dough in the fridge for a while first. This firms it up and makes it less sticky.
