Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup finely chopped nuts
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
1 ½ cups strawberry jam

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine flour, powdered sugar, nuts, and salt for base in a large bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles cornmeal.
Transfer mixture to a 12x18-inch baking sheet and flatten with the palm of your hand into an even layer. You do not need to butter the pan; the dough has enough butter in it so it will not stick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Leave oven on.
Meanwhile, combine 1 cup flour and sugar for topping in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; you do not want big clumps of butter.
Spread jam over the cooled base layer, then sprinkle on the topping mixture. Return to the oven and bake until topping is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into 24 bars.
