Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the stick of butter. Use a hand mixer to beat the butter until it is light and fluffy. Carefully incorporate the egg yolk and sugar until everything is thoroughly mixed together.
- In a separate bowl, add the baking powder, salt, and flour. While mixing the butter mixture, slowly add the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
- Shape the dough into a large cylinder. Store in freezer for a minimum of 3 hours.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 F. Take the dough cylinder and grate off about half of the dough, placing the pieces at the bottom of a baking dish to form a base. Spread some fruit preserves or jam over this, but leave a border of about ½ on all sides. Grate the rest of the dough cylinder and place the pieces over the preserves or jam.
- Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the shortbread bites are a nice golden brown. Remove from oven and cool before sprinkling with powdered sugar and serving.
