Makes: 16 bars
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¾ cup sliced almonds
- ¾ cup blueberry jam
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and lightly butter an 8x8 baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk.
- Slowly mix in the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined. Stir in sliced almonds.
- Put jam in a small bowl and mix with a fork to loosen it up. Alternatively, you can put the bowl in the microwave for 15 seconds to heat and loosen.
- Press half of the dough onto the bottom of prepared pan. With a spoon, spread the jam over the dough, leaving a ¼ inch border. Then sprinkle the remaining dough over the top and gently press it down.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden. Let cool in pan before slicing into squares.
