Strawberry Shortbread Cookies Food

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD PRETZEL PIE

Steps:

• Spray a 9-inch round cake or spring-form pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with a round of parchment.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pretzels and crushed cookies until combined. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Let cool, then remove from the pan and remove the parchment, and transfer to a serving plate.
• Simmer the strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until slightly broken down and thickened, 12 to 18 minutes (depending on ripeness). Cool slightly, then stir in the 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
• Beat the cream cheese with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth. Spread evenly on the pretzel-cookie round. Top with the strawberries, garnish with the almonds and crushed pretzels and serve.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Put the butter, sugar, and extract, if using, in the bowl of a food processor or stand mixer. Sift in the strawberry powder to avoid lumps. Cream well. Make sure your strawberry powder is well incorporated and the mixture is streak free.
• Add the flour and pulse about 10 times, then run the machine briefly, just until the dough comes together into a lump or lumps. If using a stand mixer, add the flour on low and mix until the dough comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and finish bringing it together, if necessary, with your hands. When it is smooth with no crumbly spots remaining, form it into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350F
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4 inch thickness and cut out with a cookie cutter. I used a 2 inch cookie cutter for about 20 cookies. I like to refrigerate the cut cookies for 15-20 minutes before baking.
• Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your cookies. I like my shortbread on the softer side, but if you prefer it crunchy, bake a little longer. Don't let them get browned.
• Cool on the pan for about 15 minutes, until the cookies are firm enough to handle, and then lightly brush the edges with egg white, and roll in sparkling sugar. Let dry before eating. Note: you can also brush the edges and roll in sugar before baking, if you prefer.

STRAWBERRY-SHORTCAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 7 tablespoons granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, or rub in with your fingers, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cream until dough starts to come together, then stir in strawberry mixture.
• Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment, spacing evenly apart. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, and bake until golden brown, 24 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool. Cookies are best served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Slice the strawberries and toss them with 1/2 cup of white sugar. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease and flour one 8 inch round cake pan.
• In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons white sugar and the salt. With a pastry blender cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and milk. Stir until just combined.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool partially in pan on wire rack.
• Slice partially cooled cake in half, making two layers. Place half of the strawberries on one layer and top with the other layer. Top with remaining strawberries and cover with the whipped cream.

BABEE'S STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD VALENTINE'S COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Sift together the flour and baking powder, and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the egg yolks, orange juice, and vanilla extract, and mix slowly.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and mix slowly until a dough forms.
• Remove the dough from the mixer, and knead with your hands until it's stretchy. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and, using a rolling pin, roll flat.
• Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut the dough in half. Punch out the "solid" bottom halves of the cookies on one half of the dough. Punch out the "heart window" top halves of the cookies on the other half of the dough.
• Arrange cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove before browned, and let cool completely.
• Carefully spread strawberry preserves on the solid bottom halves of the cookies, and place the heart window part of each cookie on top. Serve and enjoy!

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• To make the shortbread dough, butter and line a baking tray with parchment. Cream the butter and the sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and then flour, a little at a time, and incorporate until the dough is smooth.
• Using a little extra flour knead the dough on a flat surface and then roll to a thickness of just under one centimetre using a rolling pin. Cut the pieces out with cookie cutters. Place the shortbread biscuit on some baking parchment. Clingfilm the tray and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to 170°C/gas mark 3.
• Meanwhile, make the icing by placing half of the hulled strawberries in a blender. Puree till smooth, then strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Put the icing sugar and butter into the blender and blend until pale and creamy. Now re-add the strawberries that have been pureed, and blend for a few seconds.
• Take the tray out of the fridge and prick each of the shortbread biscuits with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the biscuits are golden. Cool on a wire rack.
• Decorate the shortbread biscuits with the icing, or children can dip the shortbreads into the icing bowl.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in flour and chocolate. Form dough into two balls (one slightly larger than the other.) , On a floured surface, roll balls into 7-in. circles (one thicker than the other). Transfer to greased baking sheets. Prick all over with fork. , Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or just until golden. Allow to cool 5 minutes; cut thinner circle into eight equal wedges. Cool on racks. To assemble, place circle on a serving plate. Top with whipped cream and strawberries. Set wedges into the cream at an angle, points toward center. Cut into wedges.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD AND CREAM

Steps:

• Using an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or an electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, salt, vanilla seeds and orange blossom water, if using. Beat in flour until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Scrape the dough onto a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. It will be very sticky, so use the plastic wrap to help form the log (or make two shorter logs if that's easier). Then wrap it up and chill until it's thoroughly cold, at least 3 hours (and up to 5 days).
• When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners.
• Unwrap the dough log and slice it into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheets and bake until the cookies are golden at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be bake up to 4 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle strawberries with a little sugar and let them sit for 15 minutes to release their juices.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, or a whisk and elbow grease, whip the cream, adding a teaspoon or two of sugar, if you like. Note that the cookies are very sweet so you may not want to add any sugar at all.
• Spoon the strawberries into serving bowls and top with whipped cream. Drizzle cream with juices from the strawberry bowl. Tuck a cookie or two in each bowl and serve with spoons.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Put 400g strawberries in a food processor and blitz to a smooth purée. Chop the remaining strawberries into small pieces and set aside. Add the yogurt, condensed milk and vanilla to the processor and whizz again to combine.
• Pour the cream into a bowl and lightly whip until it's just holding its shape. Add roughly one-third of the strawberry mixture, fold together with a spatula, then add the remaining strawberry mixture and the chopped strawberries and mix again.
• Pour half into a freezer-proof container, scatter over half the shortbread pieces, if using, and half the freeze-dried strawberries, then cover with the remaining yogurt mixture, crushed shortbread and freeze- dried strawberries. Freeze for at least 4 hrs until solid. Remove from the freezer 10-15 mins before scooping. Freeze for up to 2 months.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, confectioners sugar, and vanilla and beat together on medium speed until creamy and combined.
• Place the mixer speed to low. Add the flour to the butter mixture and beat until the mixture is crumbly and resembles curds.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer. Add the crushed strawberries and gently mix until the strawberries are mixed in thoroughly.
• Turn the dough out onto some cling film. Press the dough together, forming a disc shape, about an inch in height. Wrap the dough with the cling film and place in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes.
• Dust your work surface with flour. Roll out your cookie dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out the desired shapes and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches in between the cookies.
• Place the cooking sheets into the refrigerator to chill for 45 minutes to an hour. If baking the following day, wrap the cookie sheets with cling film to prevent drying absorbing odors.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F while the cookies are chilling.
• Once the cookies are properly chilled, bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the cookies start to turn a light golden brown.
• Let cool completely on the cookie sheets or on a cooling rack.
• Place the white chocolate into a microwave safe bowl.
• Melt the chocolate in 30 second increments in the microwave until only a few lumps of chocolate remain.
• Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir until there are no longer any lumps.
• Add in the strawberry powder and mix to combine.
• Pour the strawberry white chocolate into a piping bag and decorate the cookies as you wish.

SHORTBREAD WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 230c. Powder oats in a blender. Add the flour, cornflour, sugar and salt and pulse to combine. Add the butter/coconut fat and mix on low speed until a dough forms. I used a high-powered blender and this worked perfectly - the dough came together in less than a minute.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll out just over 1cm thick. Cut out shapes with a biscuit cutter (I used one about 6cm wide). Transfer to a baking tray - it does not need to be either greased or non-stick.
• Bake for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 120c. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes longer, until the edges turn lightly golden. Turn off the oven, prop open the oven door a little with a wooden spoon and leave the shortbread to dry until it is pale golden in the centre (about an hour). Cool on a wire rack.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD BARS

Steps:

• Preheat 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.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD BAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat over 350 degrees F, rack in middle position.
• Mix flour and sugar in medium-sized bowl.
• Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or use 2 knives. Mixture will look like bread crumbs or course corn meal.
• Spread HALF of this mixture (about 3 cups) into a greased 9x13 pan.
• Bake 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until edges are just beginning to turn brown.
• Remove the pan from oven to a wire rack, but DO NOT TURN OFF OVEN.
• Spread pie filling over top of crust you just baked.
• Sprinkle the crust with the other half of crust mixture you saves. Try to make as even as possible. It will spread a bit as it bakes.
• Gently press the top crust down with the flat blade of a metal spatula.
• Bake 350 for another 30-35 minutes, or until top is lightly golden brown.
• Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack.
• When bars are completely cool cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Chilling makes them easier to cut.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Clean and cut strawberries in slices, cover and place in fridge so they can make their own syrup while baking add a tablespoon of sugar to help. (optional).
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, use a nonstick pan, or use cooking spray. (For quicker cooking, I use two cookie sheets).
• Mix butter and powdered sugar in stand mixer. (Or hand mixer).
• Once butter and powdered sugar is fluffy, mix vanilla until evenly combined.
• In a seperate bowl, combine flour and baking powder and slowly add to butter/powdered sugar mixture. (Use low speeds and do not over-mix).
• Form two balls of dough and place in fridge wrapped in plastic wrap and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Once dough is chilled and firm (about 30 mins) remove one ball of dough and roll on floured surface and use cookie cutter, or you can roll into a log and cut slices. Transfer to cookie sheet, then repeat with second ball of dough.
• Bake for 9-12 mins or until edges are golden. If the whole cookie is golden or brown it will turn out too crunchy. These cookies are best on the soft side.
• While cookies are cooling, mix instant vanilla pudding and milk in a bowl. As pudding sets (5 mins) use stand or hand mixer to whip the whipping cream and sugar. (optional since pudding adds sweetness). Once stiff peaks form, fold into pudding with rubber spatula.
• Spoon pudding mix onto cookies to make it look like a thick layer of icing, then place a slice or two of strawberries on each cookie.
• Experiment with the flavors! You can do cheesecake pudding with fresh raspberries or blueberry pie filling, or even banana creme pudding with fresh banana slices on top.
