Jam Diagonals

By kellance

My Mom always makes these at Christmas time and I now carry the tradition. They are a favorite of many of my friends.

Ingredients

• 1/2 c butter
• 1/4 c sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 c flour
• 1/4 c raspberry jam
• 3/4 c icing sugar
• 4 tsp lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Cream together first 4 ingredients. Stir in flour. Divide dough into thirds. Carefully shape each portion into a long, thin strip directly on lightly greased cookie sheet. Make a 1/2" depression with your thumb along the length of the strip of dough. Fill the indentation with raspberry jam. Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes. While cooling, mix together icing sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over jam. Slice bars on the diagonal.
