These Zesty Lemon-Thyme Shortbread Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic buttery treat. The bright and tangy flavor of fresh lemon pairs beautifully with the earthy notes of thyme, creating a cookie that is both refreshing and aromatic.
Perfect for afternoon tea or as a light dessert, these cookies are easy to make and will impress anyone with their unique flavor profile. The crumbly texture and melt-in-your-mouth quality make them irresistible!
For a stronger lemon flavor, consider adding a bit of lemon zest to the dough. If you don’t have fresh thyme, dried thyme can be used, but reduce the amount to about one teaspoon.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They also freeze well, so you can make a batch ahead of time and enjoy them later!
