Strawberry Shortbread Sandwich Cookies

     While on our long road trip in May, my husband and I stopped and purchased some cookies that were a sandwich cookie with a raspberry topping.  They were pretty good, but they had that hard, store-bought crunch and the raspberry topping was just a little too gummy.  As I munched on them, I thought to myself that I could probably come up with a homemade version that would be so much better! (I mentioned my intent to do so in this post.)  So, even though I am trying not to turn on my oven, this idea kept nagging at me until I just had to try it.  The result was worth the few minutes of extra heat! Here is how I did it:
Here is what the dough should look like when it is all mixed. Very soft, yet it can be rolled out.
Roll the dough out and cut it into cute rounds. Then cut out half of the middles.
I had this scalloped cookie cutter, but I wasn't sure what to use for the centers until I found this little citrus juicer! Use what you have!
I carefully placed them on a parchment lined cookie sheet in pairs.
The shortbread needs to be pricked with a fork so it won't puff up. I used a two prong fondue fork to fit the pricks around the hole of the cookie and to give a decorative effect.
Now they are ready to go into the oven!
     You have to bake them for about 17-20 minutes in a 350 degree F. oven.  I was so happy with the way they looked when they came out.

They didn't get puffy and they kept their shape! Yes, I know that some of the holes are off center. That is how you know they are hand made!
     Next, I filled them with the lemony frosting, added the top and put a dollop of my homemade strawberry jam in the middle.  (You can find tips for making your own jam here. Printable canning labels for your jam are here!)  The shortbread came out crisp and delicate.  The filling and the jam add the perfect sweet combination to go with the buttery shortbread.  My family loved them! I love when I get great results on the first try!

Isn't that just the cutest little thing?
     Here is the recipe!

They would be great for a tea party, a baby shower, bridal shower or just because. If you want to find a cute way to serve them at a party, just go to Beau-coup!  Look at this cute idea!  I can see cookies or Hot Cocoa Bombs sitting at each person's place in these little domes!

These look like cute choices! I am not sure how big the flower shape is, but the scalloped edged set gives you options.  I like the handles!

I've had store bought cookies like this, but I've never made my own. They are definitely one of my favourites, and I can't wait to try your recipe. Homemade is always best!
