How to Make Strawberry Shortbread Bar Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the rack in the middle position.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Do not turn off the oven.
  7. Spread 1 (15 ounce) can of strawberry pie filling evenly over the baked crust.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the pie filling.
  9. Gently press the top crust down using a flat metal spatula.
  10. Bake for another 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Once completely cool, cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. Chilling makes cutting easier and enhances the flavor!
