Ingredients

- Sea salt – A touch or sea salt enhances the flavor.
- Almond extract – Use a touch of almond extract for more flavor or use vanilla extract if you don’t have any almond on hand.

Equipment
How To Make Shortbread Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add almond flour, arrowroot and salt. Blend until completely mixed.
- Add almond extract and honey and cubed room temperature butter. Mix until dough forms.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about 3/8″.
- Using a ruler and a pizza cutter, cut the biscuit dough into 1″ x 2 1/2″ rectangles.
- Use a toothpick or a skewer to make little holes in each biscuit.
- Bake for 6-7 minutes until just a little light brown around the edges. These cookies taste best if they are a little under done when you remove them from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool and then enjoy them or box them up like Ted Lasso in little pink boxes and gift them to your friends!
