Lemon Shortbread With Candied Pecan Topping

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup rice flour (this is lower in gluten and gives an incredibly great texture to the shortbread. You can substitute with cornstarch or all-purpose flour if you don't have rice flour on hand)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 5 tbsp vegan butter (I used Earth Balance) at room temperature + 5 tbsp butter-flavored transfat-free vegetable shortening (can replace shortening with all vegan butter or margarine. Shortening gives an ultra-crumbly texture which is great in shortbread)
• Zest of one large lemon, about 1 tbsp
• 1/2 tsp pure lemon extract (optional)
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Candied Pecan Topping Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 2 tbsp vegan butter or margarine
• 1 tbsp sugar
