Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Shortbread cookies are usually made with dairy butter, but these dairy-free and vegan shortbread cookies are close to the traditional ones. They are perfect for school lunches, after-dinner desserts, or anytime you want a sweet treat. Even though they are easy, these cookies are also special enough for holidays and large family meals. If you are baking a batch of cookies for a gathering or cookie exchange, be sure to label these as dairy-free and vegan so they can be enjoyed by those who have a food intolerance or who make that dietary choice. This recipe keeps it simple and you will just press the dough onto a baking sheet and cut it into bar cookies or squares after baking. This shape is easy to pack in tins or boxes to give as a gift or mail to distant friends and relatives.
