Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Filling:
- 3/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Layer the Dough: Spread two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the dough, then sprinkle fresh raspberries on top. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining dough over the berries and jam, gently spreading to partially cover.
- Bake: Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
- For extra texture, sprinkle sliced almonds or chopped pecans over the jam before adding the top dough layer.
- These bars store well in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
