Equipment
- mixing bowl
- electric mixer
- 9x13 inch baking pan
- wire rack
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
Bars Base
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, then gradually mix in the flour until just combined—the dough will be thick and slightly crumbly.
- Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- Spread the raspberry jam over the dough layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans over the jam, then crumble the remaining dough evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is lightly firm to the touch.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars—about 1-2 hours.
