Keto Lemon Almond Shortbread Cookies

Step 1

Melt the butter in the microwave or a small saucepan.

Step 2

Add the almond flour, sweetener, and lemon zest, stirring until fully combined.

Step 3

No need to pre-chill, just press dough into tart or pie tins. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees (F) for 15 mins until firm and golden brown.

Step 4

Form dough (it will be crumbly, this is normal) into a cylinder and wrap tightly with plastic wrap to compress.

Step 5

Chill in freezer for 30 minutes or until firm, or in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Step 6

With a sharp knife, slice into 1/2 inch thick cookies (if they crumble apart your dough isn’t cold enough).

Step 7

Bake in a preheated oven @ 350 degrees (F) on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet for 15 minutes, or until firm and golden brown.

Step 8

Allow to cool before removing.
