Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter or Margarine
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Brown Sugar firmly packed
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 ¼ cups Rolled Oats I always use old fashioned
- 1 ½ teaspoon Vanilla
- 18 ounce Jam or Preserves. Your favorite flavor.
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat the softened butter or margarine until creamy. Put all the remaining ingredients, except for preserves, into the mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix the ingredients until crumbly.
- Put over half of the mixture in a 13″ x 9″ pan that has been coated with non-stick spray. Pat down.
- Put preserves in a bowl and stir. Pour preserves over cookie base. Spread to coat the bottom base. Add remaining oatmeal/flour mixture over top and lightly pat-down.
- Bake for 35 – 40 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool on a rack and cut into squares. Makes about 2 dozen squares.
Notes
The last time I made these cookies I used plant based butter, cubed Almond Butter. It worked perfectly!
