SUGAR-FREE SHORTBREAD COOKIES

 

Almost everyone likes butter cookies. I’m sure you also remember that texture that melts in your mouth when you bite into them, but many of us left them behind a long time ago.

The classic butter cookies from the metal box, which seemed so delicious to me in the past, now seem cloying and greasy to me, I don’t like them at all.

I find them very sweet, with so much flour and butter they no longer fit my current tastes, but that doesn’t mean that sometimes with a good coffee I don’t miss having something, a sweet bite.

The truth is that now I’m used to doing without them and what I do in those cases is have a piece of very dark chocolate and that’s it.

But sometimes my daughter, an 8-year-old girl whose mother doesn’t buy her cookies of any kind, and despite having gotten used to it and almost never asking me for them, usually remembers them when she drinks milk, and that’s when she always asks me if there are any cookies at home.

My poker face immediately gives her the answer: NO. I have to say that I am proud that he never eats industrial cookies or pastries, or sweets in general, but I also understand that once he has achieved the “weaning” process, there is no problem in making him some homemade cookies from time to time.

These sugar-free butter cookies are the ones I usually make and he loves them. Do you know what she does? She breaks them and dips the pieces in the milk, then she fishes them out one by one with the spoon, you should see how much she enjoys it!

 

Make these butter cookies from time to time, the kids will love them.

 

These are juicy cookies with a delicious butter flavor, sweetened with erythritol and without wheat flour.

Like any baking recipe you can find on this blog, I don’t think they are for eating every day, it is better to alternate snacks and lunches with other foods and preparations, but they are an alternative to keep in mind.

The normal thing is to make them with wheat flour, because I have not used it, I have made with finely ground almonds, with coconut flour and with a part of oat flour.

The combination of the three has turned out to be ideal, the dough has been very easy to handle, I have kneaded it without problems and it does not stick to my hands.

The best thing for this dough is to let it rest in the refrigerator before baking it, you have to wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it for at least an hour to cool and have more consistency when you go to form the cookies.

In the following image you can see the steps to follow from the moment you have kneaded all the ingredients.

Another interesting thing is that these cookies are tastier in the following days, so I advise you to make a good quantity and once cold, store them in an airtight container, you’ll see how delicious they are.

 

Prepare a good batch of cookies and save them for the rest of the week, they will help you get organized.

 

With the quantities that I give you in the recipe, you will get approximately 15 cookies, if you want to make more, double the quantity and that’s it.
