What are Strawberry and White Chocolate Cookies?
The base of the cookie dough is made with a classic shortbread method. Shortbread is a traditional Scottish cookie made with flour, sugar, butter and vanilla, as simple as that. The Scottish people didn’t want to pay tax on their cookies, hence they started calling it bread, which was not taxed, that's where the name short bread comes from.
To the shortbread cookie dough, there is an addition of strawberry jam to add the tartness and also white chocolate chunks, all throughout the dough, to give it the required richness.
