AUSTRIAN RASPBERRY SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Cream the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft and fluffy.
• Add the egg yolks and mix well.
• In a another bowl mix the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt together.
• Add the dry ingredients to the butter/egg mixture and mix until just blended and the dough starts to come together.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface and form into 2 balls.
• Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and freeze at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove one ball of dough from the freezer and coarsely grate it into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Make sure the surface is covered evenly with shreds of dough.
• With the back of a spoon or flexible spatula spread the jam over top, to within 1/2 inch of the edge all the way around.
• Remove the remaining dough ball from the freezer and coarsely grate it over the entire surface.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Dust with the powdered sugar as soon as it comes out of the oven.
• Cool on a wire rack and then cut in the pan with a serrated knife.
