Strawberry Shortcake Stacks - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2/3 cup butter, chopped
2 None egg yolks
1/2 lb mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp powdered sugar, sifted + extra, to dust
1 tsp vanilla bean extract
1/2 lb strawberries, hulled, sliced

Preparation

For the cookies, sift together flour and powdered sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add egg yolks and 1 tbsp chilled water, mixing until dough just comes together. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 mins.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out 12 - 3 inch cookies. Transfer to baking trays and chill for 15 mins. Bake for 12-15 mins, until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the filling, combine mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. Set aside.
To serve, spread 1/2 the mascarpone cream over 4 cookies. Top with 4 slices of strawberry. Repeat layers, finishing with a cookie. Dust with powdered sugar.
