Jammin Good Bars

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fruit jam (your choice, raspberry or apricot work well)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until combined and a soft dough forms.
  6. Press about two-thirds of the dough into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  7. Spoon your favorite jam over the layer of dough, spreading it gently but evenly.
  8. Take the remaining dough and crumble it over the top of the jam, covering it as best as you can.
  9. Bake in your preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Once baked, let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut them into squares and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Enjoy these Jammin Good Bars fresh out of the oven or store them in an airtight container for later. They make for a delightful afternoon treat or a sweet finish to any meal!
