    Three Ingredient Gluten Free Shortbread Cookies for Valentine's Day

    February 1, 2022 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    Do you love or hate Valentine's Day? Whether you love it or hate it we can all agree on cookies! These simple shortbread cookies are dipped in colored chocolate! (GF, DF, Keto, Vegan, Vegetarian, Egg Free, Nut Free, Soy Free)

    Shortbread

    Shortbread dates back to the 12th century and was often made with leftover bread dough. Now shortbread is made from sugar, butter and flour.

    Ingredients

    Our shortbread recipe is made from a few simple ingredients:

    • Flour
    • Powdered Sugar
    • Butter
    • Chocolate

    Substitutions

    You can make several substitutions to this recipe:

    • Flour: You can substitute gluten free flour or keto flour.
    • Powdered Sugar: You can substitute calorie free powdered sugar
    • Butter: Dairy free butter can be substituted.
    • Chocolate: Substitute dairy free chocolate or keto chocolate.

    Instructions

    I rolled out our dough, then placed it in the refrigerator or freezer for several minutes before cutting it with a cookie cutter and placing it on the cookie sheet.

    I baked our cookies for 9-12 minutes and then removed them from the oven and let them cool. Once cooled, it's time to melt your chocolate and dip your cookies in them. You can add sprinkles and decorate as desired.

    Storage

    Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for several days or in the freezer for up to a month. Chocolate may change color when refrigerated or frozen.

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!
