I recently had a weird and wonderful cookie from a bakery while I was on vacation. It was a chocolate sugar cookie with fennel. The flavor was so good, so addicting, and so unique! I had to create my own vegan treat with fennel in it – it was a truly amazing flavor. Thats where this idea for this vegan apricot fennel shortbread came from.
This dessert screams summer. Have you ever had corn and blueberries together? If not, I highly recommend you try these bars! They are super simple to make and are also really unique. These vegan blueberry corn cookie bars are a spin on a corn cookie, but are closer to a shortbread in texture. Very addicting and borderline a savory treat. I love them warmed up slightly and then topped with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream. They are a perfect unique summer dessert for a crowd.
It’s Christmas cookie season and I’m all about this life. I love Christmas cookies, and wanted to punch up a spin on a classic cookie. This is a riff on a jam thumbprint cookie, but with a bit more vegan butter, and a crunchy spiced streusel topping. These vegan jam shortbread cookies are highly addictive, so make at your own caution.
