Orange Blossom Shortbread Cookies

Vegan Shortbread Cookies

A while back when there was a very slight idea of starting my blog I attempted my very first shortbread cookies and by that time all I had was chicken scratch and didn’t even understand my own letter! anyone relates to this? Anyhow, today I have finally made them again and can now share with you these very easy and quick cookies.

I am always hesitant when using either rose or orange blossom water because they can be easily be overwhelming to your palate just like with cardamom; these have the exact amount of orange blossom water while delightfully melting bite by bite.

They can be cut in any shape you want and if you don’t own any type of cutter you can simply use a ruler and knife, cut them before you set them in the oven and remember they tend to shrink an itty bit… I hope you enjoy these quick to make cookies.
