Vegan Shortbread image

I know shortbread is easily made vegan but for those who are worried about how vegan margarine will compete with butter - worry no more. This recipe I used made very buttery, not too sweet traditional shortbread.

Time 35m

Yield 20-30 fingers

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup vegan margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
2 1/8 cups plain flour

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 300°F.
  • Cream together margarine and sugar.
  • Add sifted flour 1/4 cup at a time.
  • Use hands to mix into a soft, smooth dough.
  • With hands press into a 1-2cm thick rectangle and use sharp knife to cut into fingers.
  • Use fork to make pretty shortbread holes.
  • Place in oven for 25 minutes.
  • Let cool on tray for 5 minutes.
  • EXTRA NOTES:.
  • This shortbread is not overly sweet - feel free to add another loosely packed TBS or 2 of brown sugar to the mix. Feel free to sprinkle granulated sugar on top before baking. Also depending on your oven cookies can be ready after only 15-20 minutes or can be cooked for up to 50 minutes (for extra crunch and with a very golden bottom). Keep an eye on shortbread for your preference.
