How to Make Easy Strawberry Shortcakes

Flaky shortbread with a dollop of greek yogurt,

topped with sweetened strawberries!

Shortbread is one of our favorites and Strawberry Shortbread Trifle is a favorite dessert of ours.  However, sometimes I don't need to make a big trifle so I like to make these cute little strawberry shortcakes.  I love to top them off with greek yogurt because it's delicious, simple and good for you too!  I then slice up some strawberries and mix them with a little bit of preserves to make them glisten for the perfect topping...simple to make and delicious to eat!

Ingredients are as follows:  

1/2 C butter

1/3 C sugar

1 C flour

1/2 C cornstarch

1 1/2 C sliced strawberries

2 Tbsp. strawberry preserves

vanilla greek yogurt

Directions:   

Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a cookie sheet. 

 

Cream the butter and sugar together.

Add the flour and cornstarch; mix until crumbly.

Turn out onto a table and knead it until it forms into a ball.  Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Remove from fridge and roll out to 1/2" thick.

Slice into desired size squares.

Place onto the greased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10-15 minutes; until golden brown.  Remove and allow to cool.

While they're cooling, mix the sliced strawberries and preserves together.

Place a dollop of greek yogurt onto a shortcake.  Then place a few sweetened strawberries on top and enjoy!
