Bar Use

Raspberries are one of my favorite things so I enjoy using them in lots of ways. Two of my favorites are these bar cookies; Raspberry Cobbler Bars and Raspberry-Almond Bars. If you like raspberries, I guarantee you will enjoy this delicious bars.

RASPBERRY COBBLER BARS

5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/4 cups flour

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

2/3 cup reduced-sugar raspberry preserves

1/3 cup quick-cooking oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter until fluffy; beat in the brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Gradually add the flour, beating until fully incorporated. Remove 1/3 cup of the mixture and reserve. Beat the confectioners' sugar in the remaining mixture in the bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes; cool slightly. Gently spread the preserves over the warm crust. Combine the reserved flour mixture with the oats pinching with your fingers to form clumps. Sprinkle over the preserves and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly; cut into 24 bars and serve warm.

Notes: Be sure to use preserves, not jelly. May be stored in an airtight container up to 4 days or in the freezer for 1 month.

RASPBERRY-ALMOND BARS

1 cup Touch of Butter Spread (by Kraft Foods)

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp almond extract

1 1/2 cups quick-cook oats, uncooked

1 cup seedless red raspberry preserves

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

To toast almonds, spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet and heat in the oven until toasted.

Beat butter spread and sugar together until well blended. Add baking soda to the flour and stir to blend. Add the flour to the sugar mixture, mixing well. Blend in the almond extract. Stir in the oats until mixed well. Spread the mixture onto the bottom of a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Spread the preserves over the top of the mixture to within 1/2-inch of the edges. Sprinkle the almonds over the preserves. Bake at 375 degrees for 22 to 25 minutes. Cool and cut into 20 bars.
