Step-by-Step Instructions for Almond Flour Shortbread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Beat the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully integrated.
  4. Gradually add the almond flour and salt, mixing gently until just combined.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  6. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface.
  7. Cut the dough into desired shapes and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, serve with your favorite beverage.
