Strawberry Shortbread Bars
I really love using a european style butter in this recipe, as the fat content is slightly higher, meaning it will be that much more rich and flavorful.
Recipe Summary Strawberry Shortbread Bars
Fresh strawberries sit atop a buttery shortbread crust for a tasty springtime (or anytime) dessert! These bars taste great even after being refrigerated--and are maybe even better the next day!
Ingredients | Easy Shortbread Recipe½ cup unsalted butter, softened⅓ cup white sugar1 egg1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour½ teaspoon salt½ teaspoon baking soda3 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries¼ cup white sugar2 tablespoons cornstarch1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice2 tablespoons strawberry jamDirectionsPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch pan with enough parchment paper to have an overhang on all sides.Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until thoroughly combined. Mix in flour, salt, and baking soda until just combined. Using floured hands, press dough evenly into the prepared pan.Bake until edges of the crust just begin to brown, 12 to 16 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.Place sliced strawberries into a large bowl. Add sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to combine. Pour strawberries evenly over the crust. Place pan back into the oven and bake until strawberries have softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature in the pan.Place strawberry jam in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 15 seconds, or until slightly runny. Brush melted jam over the top of strawberries, and allow the bars to finish cooling completely in the pan. Carefully lift bars out of the pan using the parchment edges, and cut into 9 bars. Store in the refrigerator.If your strawberries are a bit on the tart side, feel free to use more sugar as necessary in the topping.Info | Easy Shortbread Recipeprep: 20 mins cook: 35 mins additional: 40 mins total: 1 hr 35 mins Servings: 9 Yield: 9 shortbread bars
