Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325° F. Line a 9 inch pan with parchment or grease.

Melt butter in a large microwave-safe bowl on high for 1 minute; stir. Add 1 cup morsels; let stand. Do not stir.

Beat eggs in large mixer bowl until foamy (I used a wire whisk). Add sugar; beat until light lemon colored, about 5 minutes (again, I just whisked for a few minutes). Stir in morsel-butter mixture. Add flour, salt and almond extract; mix at low speed until combined. Spread 2/3 of batter into prepared pan.

If jam needs it (mine didn’t), warm it up a bit in a small, microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds; stir. Spread jam over warm crust. Stir remaining morsels into remaining batter. Drop spoonfuls of batter over jam. Sprinkle with toasted almonds.

Return to oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are browned. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars. Makes a 9 inch pan, so you can figure out how many bars you want. I cut mine really small.

I have been wanting to make these FOREVER! I think I’ll have to, now.

mmm, these look good and I think I have all the ingredients at home. May have to make them for my coworkers.

Hi. I made these last week with blackberry jam and they were yummy. Then yesterday I decided to make these for Thanksgiving but I didn’t want to go back to the store. Using what I had on hand, I made them with sour cherry preserves and chopped up macadamia nuts and cashews. I put the nuts on top of the preserves instead of on top of final batter layer. These are otherworldly.

Just so you know, the bottom is supposed to be firm, but not dry. It shouldn’t be greasy, but it shouldn’t be dry either. You might have accidentally added more butter. Probably not, but it happens. Or maybe you didn’t add quite enough flour? I wish I had the answer. Or maybe you’ll like them better after they sit. Katie mentioned she liked them better the second day.

Did you make any substitutions?
