Servings: 9

 

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour

8 - 9 oz good quality jam (I used wild boysenberry)

1/2 tsp salt

2/3 cup smooth peanut butter (I like Jif)

2/3 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Equipment:

baking paper

measuring cup

baking pan

oven

Cooking instruction summary:

Set the oven to 350FSpray a 9x9 square baking pan with baking spray, and, if you like, line it with a piece of parchment paper with long ends so you can lift out the baked squares for easier cutting.Cream the butter and sugar together, along with the peanut butter, until everything is well combined and creamy. Beat in the salt and vanilla.Gradually mix in the flour until it is completely blended in and the dough is crumbly. Don't over-mix it.Press about 2/3 of the dough onto the bottom of the pan, covering the entire surface, and patting it gently down so it is evenly distributed. I like to use the back of a metal measuring cup to tamp the dough down and lightly flatten it.Spread the jam evenly over the surface of the dough. It's fine if the jam isn't completely covered.Crumble the remaining dough over the top of the jam, using your fingertips to break up the dough into large crumbles.Bake for about 45 minutes, until lightly golden.Let cool slightly before cutting.

The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
