Lovely and lemony. This cookie is topped with lavender for a unique taste and crunch. We also love its sugary sparkle.

Lemon Tart Shortbread
This Lemon Tart shortbread is a blend of sweet and sour and will be appreciated by fans of all things lemon and lime. The addition of toasted almonds adds to this cookie’s flavour.

Bacon, Chive and Maple Syrup Shortbread
Trust us, bacon in shortbread is good. Really, really, good.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Shortbread Bars

This is the simplest and quickest shortbread recipe that we’ve ever come across. Plus, it’s delicious.
