Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325. Lightly grease (I use baking spray) and then line an 8 or 9-inch cake pan (round or square) with parchment paper. (See Café Tips above in post regarding size of the pan.) Line a sheet pan with foil. Set both pans aside.
- Combine soft butter, sugar, lemon zest and juice and vanilla in a medium-large bowl. Stir for about 30 seconds until nice and creamy.
- Add the flour, thyme leaves and salt. Stir just until all of the flour is incorporated. The dough will be crumbly. Press the dough firmly into the prepared pan to create an even surface. Be sure there are no loose crumbs around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with the sugar.
- Place the cake pan on top of the foil lined sheet pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the top is a nice golden brown. (The smaller your pan is, the thicker your shortbread will be and the longer it will take to bake.)
- Invert the shortbread onto a flat plate. Place another plate on top and invert again so the sugared side is up.
- Slide the shortbread onto a cutting board and sprinkle with a bit more sugar, if desired. With a long, sharp knife, cut it into wedges (or rectangles or squares if using a square pan). Transfer pieces to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
- If you prefer your shortbread crisper, place the cooling rack with the cut pieces on a sheet pan and return return to the oven for 5 minutes then cool completely on the rack.
- Garnish when serving with a few more fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

- Lift bars from pan, using foil. Cut bars into 9 equal squares. Cut each square in half diagonally, forming triangles. Cool completely.
- Make glaze by stirring together powdered sugar and lemon juice in bowl; add enough water for desired consistency. Drizzle over shortbread. Immediately sprinkle with edible glitter, if desired.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg, McCormick® Vanilla Extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and mix until fully combined, about 3 minutes.
- Add the flour, salt, and McCormick® Dried Thyme Leaves, and mix on low speed until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper and use the parchment to roll the dough into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the log crosswise into ½-inch-thick rounds. Place the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the cookies in the icing or spread the icing over the cookies, then return to the wire rack. Zest the lemon lightly over each cookie. Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving.
