Description

This Keto Shortbread Cookies recipe uses almond flour and coconut oil to create a delicious low-carb treat perfect for those following a ketogenic diet. These cookies are easy to make, requiring simple ingredients and minimal baking time, resulting in a buttery, crumbly texture with a hint of sweetness from the sugar substitute and crunch from slivered almonds.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Almond Flour
  • 1.5 Tablespoons Sweetener (sugar substitute)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Bicarbonate Soda
  • 1/2 Cup Chopped Slivered Almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare it for baking the cookies.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: Measure and place all ingredients into separate smaller bowls for ease of mixing.
  3. Whisk Egg: In a glass bowl, whisk the egg until smooth and consistent.
  4. Add Coconut Oil and Mix: Stir the coconut oil into the whisked egg thoroughly until well combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the sweetener, almond flour, and bicarbonate soda to the egg and coconut oil mixture, mixing well after each addition until a thick dough forms.
  6. Incorporate Chopped Almonds: Fold in the chopped slivered almonds evenly using a silicone spatula.
  7. Scoop, Roll, and Press: Use a cookie scoop to portion dough, roll into balls by hand, place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, and gently press each to form cookie shapes.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until set and lightly golden.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely to firm up before enjoying.

Notes

  • You can substitute the sweetener with your preferred keto-friendly alternative like erythritol or stevia.
  • Make sure the coconut oil is melted but not hot when mixing with the egg to avoid cooking it.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the dough.
  • Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies tender and crumbly.
