Strawberry Shortbread Bars

I saw this recipe on the internet, just when I was craving a strawberry shortcake - but I didn't feel like complicating myself with many ingredients and I didn't have time. The cake is very good, the soft and fluffy dough melts in your mouth and combines perfectly with strawberries.

I recommend you to enjoy the fragrant and good strawberries as much as possible :)
