I have found a bar cookie recipe that seems to be popular with most and you can use any jams, jellies, or curds that you have. Plus, it works perfectly with an 8-ounce jar of spreads, and it's easy!

 

5-Ingredient Jam Bars

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter

2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 egg, room temperature

1 cup jam or jelly, any flavor

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F

Combine first four ingredients until crumbly using mixer or food processor. Reserving 1 ½ cups for topping.

Press evenly into a 9 x 9 baking pan.

Spread jam evenly over the crust.

Crumble topping over jam, press lightly into jam.

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown.

Cut after cooling.
