How to Make Elswet's Quick Easy Delicious Diabetic Irish Shortbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup of granulated sugar substitute (e.g., Splenda, erythritol) and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar substitute gradually.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 12-15 times until the dough comes together.
  6. Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to shape the shortbread or cut into squares or rectangles.
  7. Place the cut shortbread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the shortbread cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
