Time 45m

Yield 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 package (18-ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough, softened (recommended: Pillsbury)
3/4 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square glass baking dish with enough foil so there is an overhang on 2 sides.
  • Mix the cookie dough with the lemon extract, kneading to combine. With damp fingers, press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the jam over the dough. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the top of jam. Scatter the pecans over top. Bake until browned around the edges and cooked through in the center, about 35 minutes. Let cool in pan. Lift edges of foil to remove the bars. The bars are soft, so carefully cut into 2-inch squares or diagonally into pennant shapes.

1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup firm butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, if desired
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/3 cup buttermilk

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh raspberries. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
  • To make sure the bars are evenly baked, use a toothpick to check the center of the bars. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bars are done.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a larger pan and adjust the baking time accordingly. Just make sure that the bars are at least 1 inch thick.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • To add a little extra flavor to the bars, you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar or drizzle them with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.

Conclusion:

These raspberry cake bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with a moist and fluffy cake batter that's filled with fresh raspberries and topped with a sweet and tangy raspberry glaze. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, these bars are sure to be a hit.
