This is a delicious recipe from Bake from Scratch magazine that I served up this past Memorial Day weekend. They really are strawberry shortcake in bar form – fruity, creamy, with crisp, buttery crumbles. I love the combination of sweet, fresh strawberries, and sweet-tart freeze dried strawberries. A very clever touch.
I'm so excited to share this recipe, I just loved the way these shortbread turned out. This one is for pistachio lovers. Ground pistachios and oats replace some of the flour of a typical shortbread recipe, chopped pistachios are mixed in for a nutty crunch, finally more ground pistachios get sifted across the top, for even more pistachio flavor and a hint of green color.
There's no holiday gatherings happening in my part of the world thanks to a certain global pandemic, so instead I've been trying to spread some holiday cheer with a variety of cookie gifts. After all, how can you not smile at a gift bag or platter full of beautiful cookies. I like to include a variety of flavors and textures in my cookie collections: think sweet & salty tahini shortbread, cool and crisp peppermint bark, melt in your mouth butter cookies, and raspberry jam and nut filled rugelach. Those are just a few of my favorites that I've been passing out over the last couple of weeks.
A friend introduced me to these orange Citrus Shortbread Cookies during our cookie baking party last Christmas. And even though I was sent home with quite a few, I loved them so much that I made more to include in my holiday gift baskets. The bright citrus flavor of these buttery, crumbly cookies is to die for.
These Pecan Shortbread Bars have that sweet and salty thing going that I can’t get enough of. The maple and brown sugar coated pecans are layered right on top of a thin, buttery, pat-in-pan shortbread crust for all the flavors of a pecan pie in an easier to execute form.
I know cookie lists usually come out at holiday time, but I happen to love a good cookie any time of year, don’t you? And while I love a good chocolate chip cookie as much as the next gal, the internet is bursting with mouth-watering ideas for cookies of all kinds, so I’m here with some non-chocolate-chip-cookie cookie inspiration for your weekend baking. This list has 6 (really 7) of my favorites from the last year.
These Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwiches are everything you love about the classic, homey Strawberry Shortcake: that magical combo of a buttery baked good, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream all bundled together in three cool, creamy bites.
Tips for making buttery, cheesy, parmesan shortbread to have at your next cocktail hour (or whenever you want something cheesy and delicious.)
