This elegant bar cookie is loaded with wonderful flavors and very easy to assemble. A nice extra touch is to sprinkle the bars with confectioner’s sugar. —Marilyn Swisher, Berrien Ctr, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 1 package (11-1/2 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugars and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1 cup for topping; press remaining crumb mixture into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Spread with jam; sprinkle with chocolate chunks.
  2. Combine walnuts and reserved crumb mixture; sprinkle over the top. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares.
