What it is
These are delicate, crumbly shortbread cookies infused with the sweet, slightly tart flavor of strawberries. They are baked to a golden brown, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite. The texture is buttery and melts in your mouth, while the strawberry essence provides a bright, fruity counterpoint to the rich shortbread. They are a classic treat, perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee.
