🍰 Grapefruit and Thyme Shortbread 🍰
Author: Berry Baker

These grapefruit and thyme vegan shortbread cookies are so simple to make that frankly I don’t have much to say about them, other than they are delicious and you should definitely make them yourself (......and not share them with anyone πŸ˜› ).

There is no dough rolling to do and the shortbread dough is made quickly in a food processor. You simply need to press in the tart pan (or springform cake pan in a pinch) and bake! Soon, your whole apartment ( or house) will smell like cookies and joy.

They might even disappear before you have a chance to give them away as presents since they are soooo delicious.

Ingredients

Grapefruit and Thyme Shortbread

🍰 240g (2 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
🍰 100g (¾ cup) icing sugar
🍰 ½ tsp salt
🍰 1 tbsp loosely packed, freshly grated, fine grapefruit zest
🍰 1 tbsp fresh thyme
🍰 240g (1 cup ) cold 1-inch cubbed unsalted vegan butter , I like to use Becel plant-based bricks

Icing

🍰 200g (1 ½ cup) icing or powdered sugar , sifted
🍰 60g (¼ cup) freshly squeezed grapefruit juice , strained
🍰 Red or pink food gel coloring , optional
🍰 fresh thyme or pearl sugar to garnish

Instructions

Grapefruit and Thyme Shortbread

🍰 1. Preheat your oven to 300F (150C)

🍰 2. In a food processor, add the flour, sugar, salt, zest, and thyme and pulse until combined.

🍰 3. While the food processor is running, add the cold cubbed vegan butter one by one until the mixture comes together in a rough ball.

🍰 4. Press the dough into a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom until it is even all over.

🍰 5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cookie dough looks firm, dry, and slightly golden brown on the edges.

🍰 6. Remove the shortbread from the oven and straight away, with a sharp knife, cut 16 equal pieces. Leave the shortbread to cool completely in the tart tin before removing the cookies by lifting up the removable bottom.

Icing

🍰 7. While the cookies are cooling down, prepare the icing by adding slowly the grapefruit juice to the sifted icing sugar while whisking vigorously. Adjust the quantity of grapefruit juice to your desired consistency. If using, add food coloring to your desired shade. Place the icing in a large bowl where you will be able to maneuver and dip the shortbread cookies in.

🍰 8. Holding the cookies by its side, slowly dip the top part of the cookie until completely covered. Place on a drying rack and continue dipping until all the cookies have had their first coat of icing.

🍰 9. Starting back with your first dipped cookie, repeat the process so that each cookie receives a total of 2 icing dip. Garnish the top of each cookie with fresh thyme or pearl sugar and leave to dry until firm. Enjoy!

About Sikeree Eggs

This egg was only available in Egg Cave's Cash Shop Park for Valentine's Day 2015.

The Sikeree is the first creature ever discovered in Ark that begins life as a conjoined egg. The conjoined egg houses two individual creatures.

About the Sikeree Creature

The Sikeree creature represents an ancient legend of love between two birds named Sik and Ree.

* * *

Long ago, there were two birds born to separate parents just minutes apart, Sik and Ree. From the outset, Sik and Ree were inseparable and knew that they loved one another without reservation. Sadly, in an unexpected event Sik's father died. At that same time, Ree's mother passed away.

Undone and robbed by grief, their love fell apart as they had no energy to give to one another. In their pain, they flew away from each other, each in opposite directions for miles and miles.

Now hundreds of miles apart, Sik began to think of Ree and Ree of Sik. To find one another again, they both flew back to the same spot from which they departed but they had missed each other for they arrived and departed at different times.

After 10 long years of yearning and searching for one another, Sik and Ree found each other perched across the opening of The Volcano at about the time they were both going to give up. Reunited, they rekindled their love with new perspective on their loss as younger birds.

The Legend of Sik and Ree teaches that no amount of pain or distance can sever or alter the tie of true love.
