Jam Shortbread Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment on all sides and set aside.
- In a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, flour, salt and vanilla and beat until the dough starts to come together, about 2 minutes. The dough will be crumbly, but this is what you want!
- Press 2/3 of the shortbread dough into the prepared pan in an even layer. Top with the jam and spread into an even, thick layer. Crumble the remaining shortbread over the jam, making sure you leave some spots of jam poking through. Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes or until they are just golden brown.
- Allow the shortbread to cool before cutting into desired size and shape! Enjoy!
Notes
- Shortbread is a dry dough! Don’t be alarmed if your dough is crumbly. As it bakes the butter will melt and bind the dough together!
