Strawberry Shortbread Bar Cookies

Strawberry Shortbread Bar Cookies

(Adapted from Joanne Fluke’s “Devil’s Food Cake Murder,” pg. 248)

 

3 cups flour

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cups salted butter

1 can strawberry pie filling

 

Mix the flour and powdered sugar together in a medium size bowl. Cut in the soft butter with pastry cutter until it resembles cornmeal.

Spread half of the mixture into a greased 9“ x 13“ pan bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are beginning to turn brown.

Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Then spread the pie filling over the top of the crust.

Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture on top.

Bake another 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Cover with foil and refrigerate until you’re ready to cut them.

Sprinkle with extra powdered sugar before serving.
