Paleo Whipped Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies - These easy shortbread cookies actually melt in your mouth and are only 60 calories! They're secretly sugar free, healthy and vegan/keto friendly too! | Foodfaithfitness.com | @FoodFaithFit

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 cup ghee softened at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pure almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch plus 1 tablespoon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the monk fruit into a small food processor and process for about 3-4 minutes until the sweetener reaches the consistency of powdered sugar.
  • Add the monk fruit, ghee, and both extracts into a large bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on high speed until very pale yellow in color, about 3 minutes.
  • Add in the flour, starch, and salt and beat for another 3 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides as needed.
  • Scoop dough into a piping bag and pipe onto the prepared cookie sheet into mounds 3/4-inch high. Leave room between the cookies to prevent spreading, and do not press the cookies down.
  • Bake until the edges just begin to turn golden brown, about 11-13 minutes.
  • Once cooked, cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Then, gently transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
