Pineapple Shortbread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter
1/2 cup very fine sugar
2 cups flour
3/4 cup pineapple preserves

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 300. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and airy, about 3 minutes.
Add the flour gradually, stirring until well blended.
Spread the dough evenly on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 33-39 minutes, or until golden brown. Be careful not to scorch the edges.
Remove the cookie sheet from the oven, set it on a wire rack, and allow it to cool slightly.
When the shortbread is cool enough to handle, but still malleable, spread it with pineapple preserves.
Slice it lengthwise into 6 strips, and then cross-wise into 9 strips to form 1-inch squares.
