Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg, room temperature
– 1 jar (9-12 ounces) seedless raspberry jam (or any jam of choice)
Instructions
1-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
2-Using an electric mixer on a low setting, combine 1 cup unsalted butter, 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 egg until the mixture becomes crumbly.
3-Reserve 1 1/2 cups of this crumbly mixture for the topping, then press the remaining mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
4-Spread the entire jar (9-12 ounces) of seedless raspberry jam evenly over the crust layer, making sure it’s smooth for the best flavor distribution.
5-Crumble the reserved 1 1/2 cups of topping over the jam and press it lightly to help it stick.
6-Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the bars are set.
7-Allow the bars to cool completely in the dish before cutting them into pieces and serving to ensure they hold their shape.
