RASPBERRY SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter until soft and fluffy.
• Add the egg yolks and mix well.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add to the butter/egg yolk mixture and mix just until incorporated and the dough starts to come together.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and form into 2 balls.
• Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and freeze at least 2 hours or overnight, or for as long as a month.
• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Remove 1 ball of dough from the freezer and coarsely grate the frozen dough into the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking pan or a 10 inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Make sure the surface is covered evenly with shreds of dough; gently press down on dough to compact slightly.
• With a spoon or spatula, spread the jam over the surface, to within 1/2-inch of the edge all the way around.
• Remove the remaining dough from the freezer and coarsely grate it over the entire surface.
• Bake until light golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
• As soon as the shortbread comes out of the oven, dust with confectioners sugar.
• Cool on a wire rack, then cut in the pan with a serrated knife.

RASPBERRY AND ALMOND SHORTBREAD THUMBPRINTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together butter and white sugar until smooth. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Mix in flour until dough comes together. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Make a small hole in the center of each ball, using your thumb and finger, and fill the hole with preserves.
• Bake for 14 to 18 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Let cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, 3/4 teaspoon almond extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle lightly over warm cookies.

RASPBERRY SLICE

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 180 c ff / 355 f
• Grease and line an 18 cm x 18 cm / 7" x 7" (base measurement) baking tin and set aside.
• In a large bowl, melt butter on high for about 1 min in microwave until melted - careful it may splatter!
• Add sugar and vanilla paste to melted butter, stirring to melt the sugar and combine.
• Add flour and mix until completely combined, then remove 1/4 cup of the flour mixture and set aside.
• Press the remaining flour mixture evenly into the base of the lined tin, pressing down well to create a smooth even base, then bake for 10 mins.
• While base is baking, add the reserved flour base back to your original bowl, along with the peanuts & extra 1 tbsp of flour, then using your fingers crumble together to combine.
• When base is finished baking, pour jam over base in a roughly even layer, making sure to go all the way to the edges.
• Sprinkle crumb topping over the jam layer, then bake for a further 15 mins. Leave to cool in tin for a least 30 mins before slicing.

RASPBERRY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour and cover a 9-inch square baking pan with foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
• Cream the butter and sugar together just until combined. Add vanilla. Sift flour and salt together and, with mixer set on low, slowly add to butter until almost comes together as a dough ball.
• Separate dough and pat two-thirds into the prepared pan for the crust. Place remaining dough in refrigerator to chill. Bake crust for about twenty minutes or until lightly golden, then remove to a cooling rack.
• Mix fresh raspberries into the jam, mashing them with a fork. Some lumps will remain. Spread raspberry jam mixture over warm crust.
• Sprinkle remaining one-third of dough over the raspberry jam in little pieces like streusel. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the streusel is golden brown.
• Cool completely then gently lift the foil or parchment from the pan and cut into bars.

RASPBERRY SHORTBREAD.

Steps:

• Line a roasting dish with foil, leaving enough room at either end so you can immediately lift it out.
• Beat butter and half of the sugar to a cream. Add 1 beaten egg; mix well, then add the flour. Knead well and cover the base of the pan with the shortbread. It is easy to take small pieces and flatten in your hand first. Spread thinly with raspberry jam.
• Mix the remaining sugar with 1 egg, adding the coconut mix together well. Carefully add all over the top, using a fork to cover properly. Bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 30 minutes. Coconut should be nicely browned.
• Lift out the shortbread as soon as its cooked - using the extra foil on both sides of the roasting dish, place on a cutting board then cut into squares immediately and leave to cool.
• PLEASE NOTE: Don't use sweetened coconut as the sugar in it melts and the syrup from it dilutes the base.

RASPBERRY SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Transfer to a bowl and stir in cream, buttermilk, and raspberries until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide dough into 8 portions and shape into rounds. Place, 1 1/2 inches apart, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired, and freeze 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown and set, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack. To serve, halve and fill with whipped cream and berries.

RASPBERRY SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Grind the raspberries to a fine powder in a small food processor or spice grinder.
• Combine the butter, flour, raspberry powder and confectioners' sugar in a stand mixer and beat on medium-low speed until a dough forms, about 45 seconds. Remove from the bowl and shape into a disc.
• Sprinkle a sheet of parchment paper lightly with flour. Roll the dough out into an 8-inch round, 1/2-inch thick.
• Using a long knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between each.
• Bake until golden brown along the edges, about 18 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving.
• For the lemon whipped cream: Add the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar to a stand mixer and whip until it holds soft peaks. Add the lemon juice and whip to stiff peaks. Garnish with the zest.
• Serve the shortbread with whipped cream alongside or store in airtight container for up to 1 week.
