Jam Squares
Prep Time: 15
Baking time: 30 min or till cooked
Oven temp: 180ºC
Ingredients:
125g margarine, softened
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
3 cups flour
2tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
apricot jam
Instructions:
1. Cream the softened margarine and sugar with an electric mixer.
2. Add the eggs and mix.
3. Sift the flower, baking powder and salt together, add to the butter mixture and combine to form a soft dough.
4. Divide the dough in half and place one half in the fridge. Press the other half into a greased baking tray.
5. Spread spoonfuls of apricot jam over the cookie dough, not too thick, as it will spill out and burn.
6. Grate the cooled dough over the apricot jam. Make sure you cover the whole pan.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC, until golden brown. Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool before cutting into 5x5cm squares.
