Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies Recipe

As many of you know, I recently found out that I can’t eat gluten at all anymore and made this Gluten free shortbread cookies recipe.

This is why you are going to see more and more Gluten free recipes here on Eating on a Dime.

This is the very first attempt I have done at making gluten free cookies and we love them. They fall apart easily but that is ok because they are a shortbread cookie. However, no one complained…. not even my gluten lovin’ boys. 🙂

Ingredients you need:

• 2 1/2 cups Almond Flour (I personally love Bob’s Red Mill)
• 6 tablespoons Butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar (or you can use Erythritol or other granular sweetener)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

How to make Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies Recipe

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Parchment paper or a baking mat is really important when you are making gluten free cookies. I learned this quickly.
2. Beat together the butter and sugar until it’s fluffy and light in color.
3. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add in the almond flour. The dough will be thick and a little crumbly, but should stick when pressed together.
4. Scoop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
5. Flatten each cookie a little with the bottom of a glass cup. They will not spread or thin out during baking so make them as thin as you want them when done.
6.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden and beginning to brown.
7. Allow to cool completely in the pan before handling. Cookies cookies will harden as they cool.
