I am sharing a recipe for shortbread cookies, which are easy to make, contain ingredients that can be used in fasting, and eaten very quickly. I advise you to immediately cook a double portion.

Never before have I made a shortbread dough without using eggs and butter. After all, it is these products that give the shortbread dough its sandy texture. But the other day I came across a recipe from a Japanese blogger, where he prepares shortbread dough on plant ingredients.

I was surprised and decided to give it a try. He also used Earl Gray tea as a flavoring agent. I had only green tea with jasmine on hand from aromatic teas. I had to make a replacement, but even with him the result was unexpected.

Step-by-step recipe on how to make shortbread cookies without eggs and butter

Ingredients:

  • Flour 100 g
  • Corn starch 20 g
  • Sugar 40 g
  • Vegetable oil 50 g (I used olive oil)
  • Coconut milk 20 g
  • Aromatic tea 1 tablespoon (I used green with jasmine)
  • Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
  • Baking powder 0.5 teaspoon

I pour the tea into a grinder, a coffee grinder is also suitable, and punch it into the dust.

I send all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix until smooth.

I add the liquid ingredients and mix well with a spatula. The dough should come together in a ball, just like a regular shortcrust pastry.

I form a sausage from the dough, wrap it with cling film and put it in the freezer for 1 hour.

When the dough is frozen, I cut it into round discs about 5 mm thick, it can be thicker, but then it will take longer to bake.

I spread it on a baking sheet covered with a perforated silicone mat.

You can also bake it on a regular silicone mat or baking paper. But a perforated mat offers an advantage. Hot air circulates between the baking sheet and the rug, due to which the shortbread dough is baked evenly on all sides.

I send the cookies to bake for 15-20 minutes at a temperature of 180 ° C. When the cookies are golden brown, I take them out of the oven and, along with the rug, transfer them to the wire rack to cool the cookies.

That's it, the cookies are ready. The taste was completely different from what I expected. Surely these are shortbread cookies, but jasmine tea, along with vanilla and coconut milk, gives a terrific flavor. I regretted having made just one serving.
