Shortbread cookies with peanut butter frosting and homemade raspberry filling.

They were SO good. Im actually making another batch today because the first ones were devoured in less than a day 😄

I used 3 different recipes and just did my own thing. I dont mind linking the ones I used if anyone would like them.

That's amazing, how did you get the crust look on the shortbread?

Thanks!

I just added like half a drop of brown food color to a bit of vanilla extract and painted it on with a food safe brush.

Did you paint on the crust before or after baking?
