Preparation

  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out chilled dough, cut into boat shapes, and create indentations. Bake for 12-15 minutes until set and slightly golden. Cool completely.
  3. Beat mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract until thick. Use a piping bag to fill each cooled cookie boat.
  4. Gently heat strawberry jam with water until smooth. Cool slightly before using.
  5. Top each filled cookie with sliced fresh strawberries and brush with glaze. Garnish with shortbread crumbs if desired. Refrigerate until serving.
