Please Recommend A Biscuit To Go With My Coffee

For some lucky reason, I can have one Walkers shortbread from Scotland and my sugars don't rise. If you have Trader Joe's where you are, try the dark chocolate lacey cookies.
 
They do look nice, is almond flour ok to use? I had bought the Gullon sugar free digestive, thinking they were ok. I thought it was only the carbs (of which were sugars) that I needed to be mindful of, not all carbs - am I wrong? So I'm new and learning.
 
All carbs turn to glucose ie sugar so check the carbs content but test to see how things that you eat affect YOU

A versatile low carb shortbread dough that makes beautiful keto shortbread cookies, or the perfect low carb shortbread crust for a summer fruit tart or lemon meringue pie!
  • Author: Mellissa Sevigny
  • Yield: 1 large tart or 16 cookies (about 2 inches in diameter)
  • Category: low carb cookies
INGREDIENTS
  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (Splenda, Ideal, Swerve, etc.)
  • 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Melt the butter in the microwave or a small saucepan.
  2. Add the almond flour, sweetener, and lemon zest, stirring until fully combined.

  5. To make the cookies:
  6. Form dough (it will be crumbly, this is normal) into a cylinder and wrap tightly with plastic wrap to compress.
  7. Chill in freezer for 30 minutes or until firm, or in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  8. With a sharp knife, slice into 1/2 inch thick cookies (if they crumble apart your dough isn’t cold enough).

  10. Allow to cool before removing.
