Raspberry Mango Jam Bars

This is the first time I’ve ever made a “jam” cookie. I am completely sold!! I think the only way this could be better is if it was made with fresh homemade jam.  The jam I bought was still pretty amazing. I found it at Costco: raspberry, mango, orange. So tasty! This recipe was inspired by Betty Crocker’s Cookie Jar Cookbook.

Raspberry Mango Jam Bars

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup raspberry mango orange jam (from Costco)

Orange Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 tsp fresh squeezed orange juice

1/4 tsp orange zest

Mix together until smooth.

Directions:

Cream together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla. Mix in flour and baking powder.

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Divide dough into 4 parts. Mold into long strips. Place on a cookie sheet. Press measuring spoon into the dough to create indentations in the dough. Put about 1 1/2 tsp of jam in each indentation (filling the craters).

Bake until edges are light brown, about 10-12 minutes.

Cool while you mix up the Orange Glaze. Drizzle glaze onto the cookie strips. Cut into triangles.
