Maraschino cherries – Remove 5 cherries from the jar and chop into small pieces. You’ll need 1/4 cup of the cherry juice to mix into the shortbread dough.

Low carb chocolate chip cookies are made with almond flour, which you know is gluten free. This means you need to add xanthan gum to act as a binder that will keep your cookies from falling apart. Using erythritol will sweeten your low carb chocolate chip cookies without the need for traditional sugar.
