-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the butter and Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, until it's fluffy and light in color.

Beat in the vanilla extract. Beat in the coconut flour. (The dough will be dense and a little crumbly, but should stick when pressed together.)
-
Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie to about 1/2 inch (.8 cm) thick. (You can make them thicker or thinner to your liking. Keep in mind they will not spread or thin out during baking, so make them as thin as you want them when done.)

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden. Allow to cool completely in the pan before handling.
Optional Chocolate Dip:
-
Allow gluten-free shortbread cookies to cool and harden completely before dipping in chocolate. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper (one that will fit in your fridge).

excellent, added 2 tsp almond essence and they almost tasted like almond macaroons

I added a little lemon extract – I know it takes away the shortbread taste a bit but yummy. The only problem was I didn’t have any milk to drink with them!
Anna G
Hi! I had issues with the cookies being very crumbly with this recipe for coconut flour shortbread cookies. They would not stick together enough without cracking. Do I need more butter?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Anna, Sorry to hear that! Did you use Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour? Different brands vary in density and moisture absorption, so the result can vary.
Tracy Mills
Fabulous recipe! I’ve finally found a cookie that I LOVE! I used monkfruit and find they are a wee bit too sweet, but I will adjust next batch. I also added choc chips and pecans because that’s what I love, but they would have been good on their own! Thanks so much for this recipe!
Gina
These cookies were delicious! I will be making these again!
Allison
Buttery and delicious! Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe.

These are so good! I wanted to make more baked desserts that does not have almond flour, so I tried these. I couldn’t wait to dip the slightly cooled cookies into the chocolate, just had to have them for dessert tonight. Well, you are right–it’s best to wait until the cookies are completely cooled. What I did instead was to simply pour teaspoons of chocolate onto each cookie and sprinkled the pecans. It was a bit messy, but oh, the taste was just as good. Thank you so much for yet another great recipe!
