Late Night Blueberry Jam Bar Cookies

By
Last night, after the boys were in bed, Jake asked, "Can you make some cookies?" Hmmmm...I wasn't about to go to the store since I was already in pajamas. So I looked at the ingredients I had in my fridge and pantry before I answered. Yes, I can.

 This recipe is incredibly flexible...and something you should be able to whip up late at night without too much trouble. Use whatever jam or jelly you have in the fridge. I could have made lemon curd bars, but opted to use the last of my blueberry jam.


Ingredients

  • 1 C butter
  • 2 C flour
  • 2/3 C organic granulated sugar
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 2 egg yolks
  • blueberry jam (I used about 4 to 5 tablespoons for an 8" square pan)

Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. With your hands, press the butter into the flour, flattening the cubes into flat leaves. Add in the egg yolks and press together gently to form dough.

Press two-thirds of the dough mixture into an 8" square pan. Spoon jam over the top of the dough and spread over the surface. Crumble the remaining flour mixture over the top.

Bake for 35 minutes until the top is golden and firm. Let cool slightly before you slice into bars.

    Your cookies look delicious and really tempting. I haven't seen a cookie recipe that uses jam before. My kids love strawberry and raspberry jam so I think I'll give your recipe a try with that instead of blueberry. Homemade cookies are so much nicer than store bought ones but they disappear twice as fast in my house.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
