Keto Lemon Almond Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients

• Butter

  Unsalted

  6 tbsp or 85g

• Almond Flour

  Trader Joe's - "Just Almond Meal"

  2 cup or 240g

Directions

1. Melt the butter in the microwave or a small saucepan.
2. Add the almond flour, sweetener, and lemon zest, stirring until fully combined.
3. To make a tart or pie crust:
4. 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.
5. To make the cookies:
6. Form dough (it will be crumbly, this is normal) into a cylinder and wrap tightly with plastic wrap to compress.
7. Chill in freezer for 30 minutes or until firm, or in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
8. With a sharp knife, slice into 1/2 inch thick cookies (if they crumble apart your dough isn't cold enough).
9. 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.
10. Allow to cool before removing.
