About the bake

This vegan shortbread is really easy to make. You end up with a crumbly buttery biscuit with a delicate flavour. This recipe is perfect as an everyday biscuit, but if you'd like to make a variation in flavour, we have got a really tasty orange and dark chocolate version

Great tasting biscuits but needed baking for waaaaay longer than 10-12 minutes. At the thickness specified I cooked them for 20 minutes and they were still a little soft inside.
