Low Carb Shortbread Recipe -

These are the delicious! I sometimes use ground pecans instead of hazelnuts. Orig. recipe called for 2 T water, which mine didn't need, and I added cinnamon. If dough is hard to spread, you can put another piece of parchment on top and press to spread the dough, but I found that more difficult.
