Shortbread Cookies*
1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons baking Splenda
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons Amaretto (almond liqueur)
1 teaspoon each orange and lemon zest
3 cups almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg white
Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
1. Heat oven to 325°F.
2. Line a 17 x 12 x 1-inch jellyroll pan with nonstick foil
3. . In large bowl, cream together butter and or 1-1/2 cups Splenda.
4. Slowly add egg yolks, and beat well until smooth. Beat in Amaretto and zest.
5. Stir in almond flour and salt until combined.
6. Spread dough evenly into prepared pan, flattening as smoothly as possible. (I butter my fingers to press, and then smooth with a spoon)
7. Brush top with egg white; sprinkle with nuts (if using) and with remaining sweetener.
8. Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes or until brown (if using Splenda, check for doneness 3-5 minutes early)
Turn off oven and allow cookies to sit in oven (with door ajar) for 15 minutes.
Cut while slightly warm. If cookies are crumbly, refrigerate.
