Looking for a delicious low carb cookie for the holiday season? Try these amazing keto shortbread cookies! The are super easy to make and are only 4 ingredients. They don’t even taste low carb!
Now I will mention – they do have a SLIGHT almondy taste to them. That’s why I added a tbsp of vanilla.. to combat any major tastes left from the flour.
One tip I will say is that when you are mixing the dough, make sure you mix it extremely well. Ensure that when you have a firm dough, it’s not gritty. It should be smooth.
For this recipe, I altered one from King Arthur flour to make them low carb. Here is the original recipe.
