I do!  It also uses almond flour, but doesn't absolutely have to.  (It is available as Bob's Red Mill brand in most grocery stores.)

If you don't want to use the almond flour, use all regular minus 1 tablespoon.  (Sorry about the photo...it's OLD!)

Gale Gand's Deep Chocolate Shortbread

Rate this recipe:  

A cookie that is quite simply - heavenly!

  • Serves: 24 cookies
  • Prep Time: 15 Minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. Place the butter, SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener, sugar, vanilla and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Mix, using the paddle attachment of an electric mixer until the mixture is light and creamy (approx. 1-1½ minutes). Add cocoa powder and all the flour. Mix until just blended.

  3. Remove dough from bowl and form into a ball. Place the ball of dough on the parchment lined pan. Roll the dough into a rectangle approx. 6½ inches wide by 11 inches long and ¼ inch thick. Pierce the surface of the dough with a fork all over. This allows the air to escape during baking preventing air pockets from forming.

  4. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes of baking. Remove shortbread from oven after 20-25 minutes and immediately cut into 24 fingers or rectangles while the shortbread is still warm. If allowed to cool, shortbread will not slice well.

I copied this from the Splenda website. Just eliminate the cocoa and you'll have something close to Walker's shortbread.
