This recipe looks awesome except that I'm allergic to almonds (and all tree nuts). Do you have any suggestions for an alternative to almond flour? All the LCHF/keto recipes for shortbread that I find online have almond flour, and I'm despairing.

I figured you would like them without the stevia boost. <br /><br />I actually made another batch this evening and added chocolate chips. They turned out great. So happy you enjoyed them. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-43748585582320019412015-04-25T21:00:40.789-04:002015-04-25T21:00:40.789-04:00Hi GGC,

We both agree that the level of sweetness without the extra stevia is perfect for us.

I whirled the mix in my food processor and threw them in the freezer for 20 min to chill the dough quickly. I skipped the stevia and they were fine. Thank you again for all your recipes. <br /><br /> I also love how you show pictures of how you put a whole meal together so I don't have to guess what to put with what item. <br /><br />Thanks again!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535772648678236981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-52544185577372411032015-04-24T12:46:35.717-04:002015-04-24T12:46:35.717-04:00Hi CyberSis,

Fortunately it's frequently so late when I get through reading everything that I'm probably not quite as focused as I might otherwise be. <br /><br />You know it is funny how we've desensitized what "sweet" is which makes me realize that for those just beginning to eliminate sugar, they probably prefer it a bit sweeter than us "seasoned veterans"...LOL. <br /><br />Thanks...glad you liked the photos. I needed to find a way to brighten up plain looking cookies. I just finished my last of them at lunch now and will definitely be making more soon (as in possibly this weekend). I may go "lemon" this time. <br /><br />Wow...29 degrees? We started at 50 this morning and it was 69 when I came home for lunch. Snow flurries too??? Wow! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-70019226081562885322015-04-24T00:08:27.449-04:002015-04-24T00:08:27.449-04:00Hi GGC,

It wouldn't make a very good cookie cutter, though!<br /><br />I'm sure you're right about the sweetener. I doubt if I'll need the stevia. You won't believe this, but I tried making lemonade with no sweetener, and I really like it that way. If it's diluted enough, you still get the wonderful fresh lemon flavor with just the right "tartness," at least for me. As they say, though, your mileage may vary! :-) BTW, sorry about the typo ... "adornes" ... sheesh!<br /><br />I meant to say in my other comment that I just love your gorgeous photos! :-)<br /><br />PS: It's 29 degrees right now and I don't think we even made it to 40 this afternoon. And, yes, we did have snow flurries yesterday!CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-80506961618560537112015-04-23T23:10:52.544-04:002015-04-23T23:10:52.544-04:00Hi CyberSis,

Our Costco has the tins of Scotties and I study them every single time I go!!! I think they are the cutest and I may just have to buy them for one of my wheat eating dog lover friends...LOL. <br /><br />You might even enjoy them without the additional stevia (less sweet) but while I don't mind less sweet, if I want my "regular eating" family members to eat them too, I tend to bump up the sweetness a bit to please all. One of my sons was excited to try them this weekend and said "I know these probably aren't sweet enough"...and was pleasantly surprised because he said they tasted "normal"...LOL. Everybody was happy and they weren't too sweet either. It's funny how blunted our sweet tooth becomes isn't it? <br /><br />I was so close to dipping some in melted chocolate and glazing others with a lemon glaze but am really glad I kept them "au natural" because I've really enjoyed them plain and simple.<br /><br />Let me know if you spot the "perfect" Scottie cookie cutter. Amazon had some but I'm looking for one that is identical or pretty close to the Walker silhouette. :-) Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-48681749414935683242015-04-23T22:27:57.499-04:002015-04-23T22:27:57.499-04:00Hi GGC,

Every once in a while I'll glance wistfully at the empty box of Walker's "Animal Shapes" that adornes a tiny corner of my little kitchen. The box has been empty for a Long Time time, in case you were wondering, and the sight of it would sometimes touch off visions of Fingers, Triangles, Rounds, Petticoat Tails, and Scottie Dogs dancing in my head. Well ... as for the Scotties, I never actually had those in real life.<br /><br />Now you've gone and recreated the "Highlanders"! Pure joy! When it comes to shortbread, I'm rather a "purist" and your lovely Highlanders look to be the real deal! I'll be making the basic recipe first and then will consider branching out into some of the other yummy-sounding options. And maybe I'll even keep my eyes peeled for a Scottie Dog cookie cutter!CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.com
