Almond Shortbread Cookies
Almond Shortbread Cookies are a super simple dessert to bake. Just 6 ingredients in these easy gluten-free cookies. They are buttery and delicious!
I’ve been doing a bit of a pantry clean out and found some almond flour from making macarons a while back. I didn’t have the time for macarons so I decided to try making shortbread instead. They are full of almond flavor with a great texture.

Do you use salted or unsalted butter please?
Hi Laura,
You can use either. If you have salted butter you can just skip adding the 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Also, your ingredients list says 2 cups almond butter. Is that supposed to be almond flour???
Hi Laura,
Yes! You are right, it’s almond flour – I have corrected the card, thank you so much for letting me know! I hope you get the chance to try these.
