Vegan Lemon Shortbread #fbcookieswap 2014

From ingredients to enjoyment, this recipe makes it easy to create something wonderful.

Course: Dessert, Baked Goods
Cuisine: Vegan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour 260 g
  • 1 cup vegan butter like Vegan Becel or Earth Balance
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar white
  • 1 tsp lemon or all the zest of one lemon, zest
  • lemon juice up to 2 teaspoons

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Stir the lemon zest and sugar together so that the sugar absorbs the lemony flavour. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Combine all ingredients using a food processor or a pastry cutter until a dough forms. It may be a little crumbly, if that's the case, add a little lemon juice so that the dough sticks together a bit better. It'll still be crumbly. Form into a rough disc and wrap in plastic film. Refrigerate for about an hour to let the dough rest.
  2. Remove from fridge and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness (a little less than 1 cm) and cut into shapes (I just did standard rectangles).
  3. Refrigerate for another 10-15 minutes so that they keep their shape in the oven. Meanwhile preheat your oven to 350F.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until you start to see the bottom edges brown. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container, and is best eaten with tea! =)
