Sugar Free Shortbread Cookies, a simple dessert or snack recipe for buttery and crumbly cookies made with no added sugar. keto LC Option
Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter - soft
- ½ cup Sugar Alternative - see post for details and alternatives.
- 2 cups Flour - see post for details and alternatives.
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
Optional- Sugar Free Chocolate (½ cup) for melting and chopped nuts (2 tbsp) for topping.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper or a baking mat. If you are planning on refrigerating your cookie dough before baking the cookies you can skip this step for now.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together your butter and sugar alternative until light and fluffy. Then add the vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and set your mixer on low. Then add the flour to the mixer and mix until just combined (the dough should be crumbly).
- If you are refrigerating the dough, lay out a piece of plastic wrap and transfer the dough on to the wrap, shaping it into a disc shape so that it can be wrapped in the plastic.
- When you are ready to bake your cookies, take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out to about a half inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut the cookies out and place them on to your prepared baking sheets at least an inch and a half apart.
- Bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Then let the cookies cool on the baking sheet to room temperature.
- To make the melted chocolate, use a microwave safe bowl to melt the chocolate, stopping to stir every every 20 seconds until smooth (about a minute or so). Then Coat half of each of the fully cooled cookies with melted chocolate and top with the chopped nuts. Allow this to set before enjoying or storing your cookies.
