Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg
3/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
Optional: 1/3 cup chopped cashews or almonds
Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Make the Base: Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg. Add flour and mix just until combined. Reserve 1 cup of dough for topping.
Build the Layers: Press remaining dough into the bottom of the pan. Spread jam over the crust, staying 1/2 inch from the edges. Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips on top.
Add Topping: Crumble the reserved dough over the jam layer. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips (and optional nuts).
Bake: Bake for 45–50 minutes or until golden brown and jam is bubbly. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
