About the Recipe

Ingredients

  • Himalayan Honeysuckle Berries (ripe, dark brown)

  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (shortbread)

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar (shortbread)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (shortbread)

  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt (shortbread)

  • 1–1.5 tsp vanilla extract (shortbread, optional)

Preparation

  1. Pick the ripe berries carefully — they are very delicate.

  2. Mash the berries and mix with the powdered sugar.

  3. Boil the mixture in a pan until it thickens into a jam consistency.

  4. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease or line an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan.

  5. Beat butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.

  6. Mix in vanilla extract if using.

  7. Add flour and salt. Mix on low until fully absorbed.

  8. Press dough into the pan evenly and dock all over with a fork.

  9. Fill the center of cookies with honeysuckle jam before baking.

  10. Bake at 375°F for 12–14 minutes.

  11. Cool 5–10 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm.
