Strawberry Shortbread Bars - A One Bowl Wonder!


This recipe was created after working in NYC.  Frequenting a cafe that served a similar type of dessert, I always thought to myself, "I need to figure out how to make this".  After testing various amounts of flour, butter & sugar...voila!  Our #1 selling treat is created!  Enjoy! - Christine

Strawberry Preserves (or your favorite preserve)

Crust:
2 sticks butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
