LOW-CARB ALMOND SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix almond flour, sweetener, and salt together in a small bowl with a fork. Add butter, egg white, and vanilla extract; continue mixing with a fork. Place in the freezer to help it harden for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
• Remove batter from freezer. Measure out 1 teaspoon at a time; roll into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Place plastic wrap on the bottom of a glass and roll dough balls flat.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light, golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

LOW CARB ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F.
• Using and electric mixer blend softened butter for a minute. Add remaining ingredients and mix together.
• Form dough into walnut sized balls and place onto ungreased cookie sheet. The oil from the butter and almond flour grease the sheet as the cookie bakes.
• Bake for 5 minutes. Press down lightly with fork, then continue to bake another 18 minutes. The cookies do not brown.
• Let cool on sheet for 5 minutes before removing.
• For a more festive look, you can drizzle a little melted chocolate (sugar-free, of course) on top.

• Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet and press down with a fork twice in a criss-cross pattern.

KETO ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Combine and mix all dry ingredients.
• Add softened butter and rub into dry ingredients until even (produces a slightly grainy texture).
• Add egg whites and mix well.
• Using a leveled tbsp, plop dough onto parchment paper. Press each cookie down with a fork. You can use your fingers to fix the shape.
• Bake 18-20 minutes depending on desired -- brown-ness I guess. I like mine darker, so 20 minutes is good and still gives you a soft middle.
• Remove to cool on a wire rack and munch away.
• Notes: I used natural almond flour, not blanched, so my cookies are dark to begin with. I think either would be fine for the recipe.
• I suggest melting some dark chocolate and dipping the cookies in half way for extra yumminess. Lindt 85%, 90% or even 99% would be good depending on your needs.
