Jan Hagel Cookies are delicious traditional Dutch shortbread cookies spiced with cinnamon, topped with almonds and pearl sugar. Preheat the oven to 175 °C / 350 °F. Set two pieces of parchment paper the size of your baking sheet aside. In a bowl, mix baking powder with all-purpose flour and set aside.

Buttery keto shortbread cookies are a perfect snack for the holiday season. Unlike sugar cookies these shortbread cookies are less sweet and a little softer with a buttery flavour. I love this time of year as I enjoy spending time in the kitchen developing new ways to make traditional recipes into low carb recipes.
They consist of a flaky, buttery shortbread crust, a variety of crunchy nuts such as almonds or walnuts, and crystallized sugar. Due to the fact that the word janhagel denotes an unruly mob or a swarm, it is believed that the unusual name is quite fitting for these cookies made with a variety of nuts.
