Ingredients

Shortbread

  • 6 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Swerve Granular
  • 1/2 tsp caramel extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup toffee bits, divided


Toffee Bits

1 recipe Swerve English Toffee (minus the chocolate topping and the nuts)

Chocolate Dip

  • 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tsp coconut oil


Instructions

Toffee Bits

  1. Prepare the English toffee according to the directions, skipping the chocolate and the nuts.
  2. Once cool, take a sharp knife and chop into tiny pieces. (You will only need 3/4 cup for this recipe, so you can keep the rest of the toffee just for eating or for future baking!).

Shortbread

  1. In a large bowl, beat the butter with the Swerve until light and fluffy. Beat in the extracts.
  2. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum and salt and beat until the dough comes together. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of the the toffee bits.
  3. On sheets of waxed paper, roll the dough into 2 logs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Freeze 1 hour (don’t freeze too long or the dough will shatter as you slice it).
  4. Preheat the oven to 325F and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Slice the dough into 1/3 inch thick slices. Place on the prepared baking sheets and bake 5 minute. Remove from the oven and gently press down with a flat bottomed glass to about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Return to the oven and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until golden around the edges and just firm to the touch. Remove and let cool completely.

Chocolate Dip

  1. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, combine the chocolate and the coconut oil. Stir until smooth.
  2. Dip the cookies about halfway into the chocolate and set on a waxed paper lined tray. Sprinkle each with a few of the remaining toffee bits.
  3. Chill until the chocolate is set.
