Raspberry Shortbread, yes it’s even more delicious than regular Shortbread. 

This recipe is very simple and you can even prepare a stash and stock some dough in the freezer for a later date. The Freeze Dried Raspberries add a vibrant flavour which is just delightful with Dark Chocolate.

What you’ll need…

Lets get started

Pre-heat your oven to 160°C. Lightly grease a baking tray and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the soft butter and sugar. Add the egg yolks, lemon zest and vanilla and continue to beat until light and smooth. Next add in the flour & Freeze Dried Raspberry Powder and mix until smooth. Lastly add the slightly crumbled Freeze Dried Raspberries and stir until evenly combined.

Next

Take 2 large sheets of baking paper and divide the mixture between both. You want to make a “sausage” or “sushi” type log from the dough. Use the paper to roll it into a nice tight log and refrigerate it until it’s nice and firm. HERE is a little visual explanation of what I mean.

Time to Bake
Unwrap the dough. Take a nice sharp knife and cut slices – ours were between 1/2 to 1cm thick. Spread them out on your greased tray. Bake for 10ish minutes. You will notice that they rise a little and will begin to colour slightly around the edges.

Finishing touches

Using a lifter, carefully take the biscuits off the tray. I put mine directly onto a cooling rack above a piece of baking paper (to save bench wiping!)

Melt your chocolate and fill your piping bag. I did a bit of a squiggle but just do what you like. (They are still delicious sans chocolate too) I finished them off with a little sprinkle of Freeze dried Raspberry powder too.

*These can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week….if they last that long!

Ta dah…

Until next time
