Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Raspberry Jam or favorite flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Peanuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving the edges hanging over the sides. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and peanut butter and beat until smooth and creamy.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Pour the flour mixture into the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Press 3/4 of the dough into the bottom of the pan and press firmly.
  • Top with the jam and then drop pieces of the remaining dough on top of the jam.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, placing aluminum foil over the pan halfway through.
  • Allow to cool completely. Run a knife all along the edges of pan and use the edges of the parchment paper to life the bars out of the pan. Cut into small bars.
  • Best if stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
