Make the Shortbread Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350?F (175?C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the flour, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the Vegan Lemon Curd
- In a saucepan, combine lemon juice, coconut cream, maple syrup, cornstarch, and lemon zest.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using.
Assemble the Cookies
- Spread a generous amount of vegan lemon curd on the bottom of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Repeat with remaining cookies and lemon curd.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
