Almond Flour Shortbread Cookies

Cultural Context

Shortbread cookies have roots in Scotland, where they were traditionally made with simple ingredients like butter, sugar, and flour. The use of almond flour in this recipe offers a gluten-free alternative while maintaining the rich, crumbly texture that shortbread is known for. These cookies are often enjoyed during holidays and special occasions, and their popularity has spread globally, leading to various adaptations and flavor variations.
