Lemon Thyme Shortbread
This is a classic vegan shortbread recipe with a bright and herbaceous twist: lemon zest and thyme!
There are certain cookies that are just the perfect cookies for any get together or celebration throughout the year, these are definitely the cookies! If you have a sophisticated tea party, everyone would love to nibble on these, especially with little side sandwiches like our Chickpea Salad Sandwiches. Or, if you are heading to a spring BBQ, make up a batch of these Lemon Thyme Shortbread! Taylor brought these when our family celebrated Christmas. We all love having shortbread during the holidays, and the thyme is very warming and felt festive for the holidays.
Honestly, I could make an incredibly long list of events where these cookies are the exact thing to bring, but I am sure you can all figure out the opportunity that works best for your life! Please, tag us on Instagram or write a comment on this post to let us know when you end up enjoying these the most; even if it’s just a solo weekend of baking and munching!
