Strawberry Jam Bars
Strawberry jam bars are all about that unbeatable combo of buttery shortbread cookie dough and sweet-tart strawberry jam!
Servings: 15 servings
Equipment
- 7x11 brownie/quiche tart pan or equivilent
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberry jam (or other fruit preserves)
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 7 x 11 inch tart pan with a removable bottom, and set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pulse until the ingredients are combined, and continue to pulse until the dough comes together into a single clump.
- Reserve about 1 cup of the shortbread dough for topping the crumble bars, and crumble the rest into your prepared baking pan.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan with your fingers.
- Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the dough.
- Mix the reserved dough with the rolled oats, and crumble evenly over the jam layer. Some of the strawberry filling will show through, and that's good.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes until just starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
- Allow to cool before removing from the pan and slicing. Note: shortbread is quite soft right out of the oven, and will firm up as it cools.
Notes
- If you don't have a 7x11 pan you can use a 9 inch square baking pan or a round 9 inch tart pan.
