hey. . what about custard shortbread or normal shortbread. . you can make them with what you have. . another idea is. . try googling vegan recipes. . and you should easily find something (since they don't contain egg) hope thats vaguely helpful
Heres a recipe for Custard Shortbreads:
185 g butter/marg ⅓ cup icing sugar 1½ cups plain flour ⅓ cup custard powder
Cream butter and icing sugar, add sifted flour and custard powder, and a dash of vanilla. Mix well. Form into balls and place onto greased oven trays and press with a fork to form biscuits. Bake in a moderate oven for about 15 minutes.

How about shortbread, melting moments, hokey pokey biscuits, honey crisps, ( you'd need a spoonful of either golden syrup, honey or condensed milk for either of those )
