Vegan Chocolate Dipped Scottish Shortbread

December 20, 2018 by Izabela

The holiday baking continues in The Cake Mama household with one of my all time favourite cookies to prepare: Scottish Shortbread! If you know me at all, you’ll know that I favour cookies that actually doesn’t have any icing on it- shocker! I know! While I love the prettiness of a perfectly decorated sugar cookie, I prefer something a little less sweet to enjoy with a good cup of coffee.

This recipe is adapted from the Taste of Home Scottish Shortbread recipe which in my books is the BEST version of shortbread. The reason? Brown sugar!! It adds a lovely caramelized flavour to the already buttery goodness that you’re gonna love! Speaking of butter, changing it to a vegan version can be a bit of a challenge only because vegan butter doesn’t cream the same way that cow butter does. My first choice is using Becel Vegan – it produces (in my opinion) the BEST tasting baked goods that turn out so nice and golden and it’s so easy to find at most local grocery stores!

I hope you enjoy this veganized version of Scottish shortbread and if you happen to come across any other recipes that are your fave, I’d love to hear it!
