Oatmeal Bar Cookie Recipe
We love this oatmeal bar cookie recipe. This one uses cherry jam. Use other flavor jams for different cookie flavors.
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup butter
1 pint cherry jam or other jam flavor of your choice.
Stir flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda.
Cut in softened butter until crumbly.
Press 2/3 of the crumbs into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2 inch pan. I have a stoneware bar pan
that works
perfectly for this.Spread with your Cherry Jam. This is the tricky part. If your jam set up firm like mine did. The crust wants to come up with the jam as it is spreads. But with a steady hand it can be done. A few bits of crust mixed in won't hurt.
Sprinkle the rest of the crumbs on top. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until crust begins to brown. Let cool and cut into bars. Yum.
You can use different flavors of jam, as you prefer. I was thinking about trying my orange marmalade.
Optional - Sprinkle chocolate chips in with the crumbs on top. Or melt the chocolate and drizzle over the top. Chocolate goes well especially with the cherry jam.
