Ancient Spring Salt and Vanilla Whipped Shortbread
100% Keto, Diabetic-Friendly, Gluten-Free, and Sugar-Free
Finding a keto cookie that actually feels like a treat, without the weird aftertaste or the cooling sensation, can feel like a marathon. Most keto sweeteners try to mimic sugar in ways they just were not meant to. At Finally., we embrace the science of our ingredients rather than fighting it.
Because our Finally. 100% Erythritol is designed for a clean, pure sweetness and does not caramelise or burn under high heat, it is the perfect partner for our newest arrival: Finally. Ancient Spring Salt. This is not just a cookie. It is a masterclass in keto baking balance.
The Specs
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Yields: 12 to 14 cookies
Texture: Delicate, melt-in-the-mouth whipped crumb.
| Ingredient | Metric Weight | Approx. Volume |
| De-fatted Almond Flour | 50g | ~ 1/2 cup |
| Unsalted Butter (Softened) | 113g | ~ 1/2 cup |
| Finally. 100% Erythritol | 48g | ~ 1/4 cup |
| Vanilla Extract | 2g | ~ 1/2 tsp |
| Finally. Ancient Spring Salt | 1.5g | ~ 1/4 tsp |
The Method
- The Creaming Phase: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and the Finally. 100% Erythritol. Beat until light and fluffy. Since our sweetener does not caramelise, this aeration is what gives the shortbread its signature whipped lift.
- The Flavour Infusion: Mix in the vanilla extract and 1.5g of Ancient Spring Salt. The salt crystals dissolve beautifully into the fats, distributing that mineral goodness into every bite.
- The Fold: Gently fold in the de-fatted almond flour. Continue mixing until a soft, uniform dough forms. If your kitchen is very warm, chill the dough for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Shape and Press: Roll the dough into small balls (about 2.5 cm) and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Use a fork to press them down gently. This creates those classic shortbread ridges that hold onto the salt.
- Bake Low and Slow: Pop them into the oven at 150°C for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Finally. Tip: Do not wait for them to turn golden brown. Because our 100% Erythritol does not caramelise, these cookies will stay a beautiful pale cream colour. You will know they are done when the edges feel firm to the touch.
- The Finishing Touch: While the cookies are still warm and the butter is slightly active on the surface, sprinkle a tiny extra pinch of Ancient Spring Salt over the top. This creates a flavour bloom that hits your palate first.
Optional Customisations:
- For Salt Lovers: Double the finishing sprinkle of Ancient Spring Salt for a bold salted vanilla profile.
- For Chocolate Lovers: Serve with a side of fresh berries or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher) for an extra indulgent feel.
