When temps start cooling down, leaves start turning gorgeous shades of yellow, orange, and red, and days get shorter, baking season is upon us! Before we know it, it’ll be time to start holiday baking. But for now, just enjoy the calmness and serenity that autumnal baking brings.

Spend an afternoon in the kitchen with your kids or by yourself and whip up a batch of these Keto Orange Shortbread Cookies!

Keto Orange Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Like any shortbread cookie, this recipe is minimal. I use a base of butter + Swerve Confectioners + almond flour. The other ingredients are there to develop the flavor profile!

Why Does This Recipe Use Both Swerve Confectioners and Stevia Glycerite?

In a lot of my low carb and keto sweet baked goods recipes, I like to use a combination of Swerve Confectioners and stevia glycerite. Through a lot of trial and error, I’ve discovered the following:

  1. Stevia helps reduce the cooling effect that erythritol (which is a sweetener in Swerve products) can have.
  2. Erythritol helps lessen the bitterness that stevia can some sometimes have.

This combination of sweeteners really is the best of both worlds!

Refrigerator Cookies Recipes

Refrigerator cookies are also called icebox cookies and slice and bake cookies. The dough is made, shaped into a log, wrapped, and kept in the fridge until it’s sliced and baked.

Pro Tip: Keep a log of this shortbread dough stashed in the fridge so you can bake up fresh cookies at a moment’s notice; it’s perfect for holiday entertaining!
