ALMOND AND STRAWBERRY JAM BARS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides for gripping and removing the bars after baking.
- Beat the butter, sugar, egg and egg yolk in a medium bowl with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the baking powder, salt and almond extract and mix on low. Slowly incorporate the flour just until the batter comes together. Press two-thirds of the batter onto the bottom of the pan, reserving the remaining batter.
- Stir together the jam and amaretto in a small bowl. Spread the fruit mixture over the batter, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Mix the slivered almonds into the reserved batter and crumble it on top. It will not cover all the jam, but it will spread during cooking.
- Bake the bars until the jam is bubbly and the topping turns golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool the bars in the pan on a rack. Use the parchment to lift the whole thing from the pan and cut it into 12 squares.
