| 1. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. | 2. In another medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar at low speed until combined. | 3. Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla. | 4. Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed until a soft dough forms. Halve the dough and form into logs. | 5. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. | 6. Preheat the oven to 350° and butter an 8 x 11-inch glass baking dish. | 7. Working over the baking dish, coarsely shred 1 log of dough on the large holes of a box grater, evenly distributing the dough in the baking dish- Do not pat or press the dough. | 8. Using a spoon, dollop the preserves over the dough and gently spread it in an even layer. | 9. Grate the second log of dough on top. | 10. Using a rubber spatula, tuck in any shreds of dough sticking to the sides of the baking dish to prevent them from burning. | 11. Bake the shortbread on the bottom rack of the oven for about 35 minutes, covering it with foil halfway through baking. | 12. The shortbread is done when the pastry is golden all over. | 13. Let cool completely, then cut into 24 bars. | 14. Dust the tops with confectioner's sugar and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
