Sugar Free Shortbread Cookies

This Sugar Free Shortbread Cookies recipe is so delicious. I use a sugar alternative instead of sugar which makes them lower carb than traditional shortbread. From now on, don’t miss out on your favorite cookies just because you’re cutting down on sugar!

To make this sugar free shortbread, start by making cooking dough. Chill the dough in the refrigerator before rolling out and cutting out the cookies. Bake in the oven until golden around the edges. Leave to cool before drizzling with melted chocolate. Enjoy with hot chocolate or a glass of milk. 

To make Sugar Free Shortbread Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
