I have been on a bit of a keto cookie bender the last few weeks. I blame ordering a whole five-pound bag of the best tasting almond flour - it is just so easy to use in all the things!
Keto Shortbread Cookies are softer than Sugar Cookies and a bit less sweet - but of course you can add more sweetness as your taste desires. They are more buttery than sugar cookies too, making them the perfect keto cookie!
I used Swerve granulated sweetener for my keto shortbread cookies as I feel it has less of the "minty" after taste of many keto sweeteners. You can also use granulated monk fruit.

Key Lime Keto Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup swerve granulated
- 1 stick (8 Tbsp) butter, softened
- 2/3 tsp key lime extract
Directions
In an electric mixer, mix together butter and almond flour until well combined.
Slowly add in swerve and continue mixing.
Drizzle in extract and let mix about 60 seconds to make sure flavoring is spread throughout dough.
Using a spoon, scoop out dough and roll into 12 even dough balls - a little bigger than 1” each.
Place on parchment lined cookie sheet several inches apart.
Using your fingers, gently press down each one.
Bake at 350º for 11 minutes or until bottoms just begin to brown.
Remove from oven and let cool. Cookies will be soft to the touch.
Keep stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
