![]() ![]() It wasn’t perfect, but having them bake with me was more important. But they loved the experience of rolling the dough and pressing in the cookie cutters. It’s pretty much guaranteed some flour will come flying out of the bowl like it did here. But since this is a simple cookie with only 3 ingredients and no complicated steps, they can absolutely help! I’m not promising they won’t make a mess. I’m the first to admit that having your children help you bake can be super messy – and slow the process down. Just top with jam, add another cookie and bake for a few minutes longer to get the jam to solidify. ![]() So I though I could bring those to life in a healthier way with these Gluten-Free Shortbread Cookies. Essentially sugar cookies sandwiched with jam between them. Jam – one tradition in our family during the holidays is Belgian Cookies (aka Empire Cookies). Sea Salt – a touch of salt can go a long way in pulling out the flavour in baking (and any recipe) but it’s not necessary. Vanilla – this is completely optional for a little more flavour, but not necessary. That’s your main ingredient list! Simple right?

Now, you want to choose a finer almond flour so it has a more flakey shortbread cookie feel to it. Especially when you are having a sweet something (because it balances out the blood sugar spike). The Gluten-Free Shortbread Cookie – Key Ingredients:Īlmond Flour – hello protein! I don’t know about you but I’ve never seen a shortbread cookie with protein!
