Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars

½ c packed light brown sugar
1 c all-purpose flour
¼ t baking soda
1/8 t salt
1 c rolled oats
½ c butter, softened
¾ c seedless raspberry jam

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 8” square pan with greased foil.
2. Combine sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, oats and butter to make a crumbly mixture.
3. Press 2 c of the mixture into a pan. Spread the jam to within ¼ inch of the edge to prevent burning. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over the top and lightly press into the jam.
4. Bake for 35 minutes (until lightly browned). Allow to cool before cutting into bars.

*I add 1 tsp of lemon juice to the jam. You can easily double the recipe with 9x13 pan.
9x13 makes 12 bars
