Strawberry Shortbread Bar Cookies

By Chef #255298
Ingredients

• • 3 cups all-purpose flour ( pack it down in the cup when you measure it) 3/4 cup powdered sugar ( confecioner's)
  • 1 1/2 cups salted butter, softened ( 3 sticks, 12 ounces, 3/4 pound)
  • 1 (21 ounce) cans strawberry pie filling ( I used comstock)

Directions

1. Preheat over 350 degrees friend, rack in middle position. Mix flour and sugar in medium-sized bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or use 2 knives. Mixture will look like bread crumbs or course corn meal. Spread HALF of this mixture (about 3 cups) into a greased 9x13 pan.
2. Bake 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until edges are just beginning to turn brown. Remove the pan from oven to a wire rack, but DO NOT TURN OFF OVEN. Spread pie filling over top of crust you just baked. Sprinkle the crust with the other half of crust mixture you saved.
3. Try to make as even as possible. It will spread a bit as it bakes. Gently press the top crust down with the flat blade of a metal spatula. Bake 350 for another 30-35 minutes, or until top is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack. When bars are completely cool cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Chilling makes them easier to cut.

Chocolate Nutella Cookies Recipe


Ingredients

• 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup of brown sugar
• 3/4 cup of white sugar
• 1 cup of Nutella
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup of chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup of chopped hazelnuts

Method

1 Preheat oven to 350F. Cream butter in an electric mixer for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the sugars and Nutella and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
2 Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 30 seconds between each. Add the vanilla and mix for 10 seconds.
3 Sift together the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda (do not skip this step as sifting eliminates clumps of cocoa). Mix into the butter mixture on low speed until fully incorporated, scraping down the bottom and sides at least once to ensure even mixing. Fold in the chocolate chips and hazelnuts and refrigerate the dough for ten minutes.
4 Spoon tablespoon-sized drops of dough onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool on the sheets for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Sour Cream Tea Bread


2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
8 ounces sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla


Grease a loaf pan and preheat the oven to 350F.
Sift together flour and other dry ingredients.
Beat butter in a bowl until smooth. Add sugar and beat again.
Add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Beat until fluffy.
Alternately add sour cream and flour, starting with sour cream, in two or three additions.

Pour into pan, smooth top and bake for 1 hour 5 minutes, or until tester comes out clean.
​

Notes: I added about 1 teaspoon of almond extract with the vanilla and added 1 cup of dried cranberries to the batter just before I put it into the pan. The original recipe suggests other variations, which basically involve adding a cup of fruit or nuts and a teaspoon or two of spices, if you wish. I would try it again with nonfat sour cream or yogurt, just to feel a tiny bit less guilty about loving it so much.​
