Strawberry And Buttercream Shortbread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
12 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 None egg, beaten
2/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
3-4 tbsp strawberry jam, warmed and strained

Preparation

Sift flour into a large bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add sugar and egg and mix until combined. Knead until smooth then wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 15 mins, until firm.
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Roll dough out until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out 20 - 3 inch discs using a fluted cutter. Arrange on 2 baking sheets. Cut a 1 inch disc out of the center of 10 discs. Bake for 9-10 mins, until just starting to turn golden brown. Let cool on trays for 5 mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the filling, beat together powdered sugar and butter until smooth and creamy. Sandwich cookies together with buttercream and jam. Dust with powdered sugar.
