These Strawberry Shortbread Cookies are a super strawberry taste treat. What better way to use up those strawberries you bought.
Origin:
The first printed shortbread recipe appeared in 1736, from a Scotswoman named Mrs. McLintock. But even before that, shortbread cookies (or more accurately, shortbread biscuits) were widely associated with Christmas and Hogmanay (New Year’s Eve).
The first printed shortbread recipe is said to come from a Scottish cookbook, written by Mrs McLintock in 1736. There are two copies left of this little cookbook. Half of the cookbook contains recipes for food preservation and there are recipes for savory and sweet dishes.
