Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Traditional shortbread has just 3 ingredients—butter, sugar and flour. This variation still achieves a crumbly, tender cookie using keto-friendly* ingredients.
  • tip 2
    Roll the chilled dough into a rectangle by stopping occasionally to reshape the dough into a rectangle using a ruler or other straight-edged utensil.
  • tip 3
    This keto-friendly* shortbread recipe calls for a granular sugar replacement that contains erythritol, oligosaccharides and natural flavor.
