To create a buttery consistency in these keto shortbread cookies, grass-fed butter is the star ingredient — however, you could also use grass-fed ghee. A mix of almond and coconut flours creates a crumb similar to white flour, while grass-fed collagen peptides add a protein boost without altering the flavor.
Although this recipe includes a chocolate glaze, keto shortbread cookies also make the perfect base for just about any flavor variation. Mix in cacao nibs, fold in lemon or orange zest, or try adding chopped fresh rosemary or dried lavender to the cookie mix. This recipe makes a delicious blank canvas to alter as you please.
Serve your keto shortbread cookies with an ice-cold glass of non-dairy milk, a warm cup of original Bulletproof Coffee, or a soothing spiced chai latte for the perfect afternoon treat.
