Low-Carb Pecan Shortbread Cookies are made with only 7 ingredients. This no-fuss recipe calls for almond flour, pecans, honey, butter, vanilla, salt, and baking soda. As you can see, these cookies are made with wholesome ingredients. What you don’t yet know is that they taste incredible!
While these are an amazing gluten-free Christmas cookie, we enjoy Pecan Shortbread Cookies all year long. Made with a base of almond flour, these gluten-free cookies are a quick and easy low-carb dessert. They’re fantastic for those on special diets because they are not only gluten-free, when made with honey and butter they are SCD and GAPS compliant.
These cookies are so good fans tell me they’re addictive. Go ahead, bake these buttery treats and see for yourself!
Since Pecan Shortbread Cookies do not contain chocolate they are a wonderful cookie for your little ones if you’re trying to keep them off caffeine. My children and their friends love eating this egg-free cookie dough raw whenever I make a batch. Here are more paleo cookie recipes for you.
This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives, I first published this recipe in 2007.

Elana,
What is the best way to store these cookies? How long will they stay fresh?
Joan, thanks for your comment! Let cool on the counter overnight then store in a container in the fridge for up to one week :-)
I used almond flour….but I live in a very humid environment. I’ll try cooking a little longer. This will be a good reason to try these delicious cookies again. Thank you for your response!
Mary, what brand of almond flour did you use. Here’s a link to my almond flour page for you which lists all the brands that work in my recipes:
