LINZER BARS
A friend brought this to one of my cookie exchange parties. I have tried the raspberry version, but she said that apricot jam could also be used, so I am including both. Great flavor and really nice presentation! A food processor comes in handy for the walnuts, or you can finely chop them.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F Grease a 9x9" square pan.
- Cream together butter, sugar, egg, lemon zest, salt, cinnamon, and cloves in a bowl.
- Mix in flour and walnuts.
- Reserve 1/4 of the dough, and pat the remaining into the prepared pan, going up about 1/2 inch on each side.
- Spread chosen jam flavor in a layer over top of the dough.
- Flour a flat surface.
- Use reserved dough to create a lattice top for the bars by dividing it into pencil-shaped strips and rolling it on the floured surface.
- Arrange in a lattice pattern across the top of the jam, criss crossing the strips and pressing the ends against the dough on the sides of the pan.
- Bake 45 mintures, or until lightly browned.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

s-george@gmail.comI had a hard time finding raspberry jam, so I used strawberry jam instead. The bars were still good, but I think they would have been better with raspberry jam.
