Raspberry Almond Bars “ Jersey Girl Knows Best”
This is one of my favorite flavor combinations- Raspberry & Almond! These bars are sure to impress your guests. I make them for the holidays to go on my cookie platter. Ready?! Let’s do this!
Take half the dough and press it evenly into the pan with your fingers or an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. The dough is soft and moldable.
When spreading the raspberry jam center, do not spread it all the way to the edge, keep about 1/2 inch on all sides. It will help prevent the jam from oozing out when the top layer is gently pressed on. (*Note- this is seedless, but I prefer jam with seeds for this recipe)
Work a piece of the second half of the dough forming a patty in your hand and then gently pressing it down starting at a corner of the pan.
Here is the top layer of dough evenly distributed. Don’t worry about all the creases and sections, the dough will melt together perfectly when it bakes.
Sprinkle on the remaining crushed sliced almonds on top.
If this is the only baked dessert you brought, I would suggest cutting these bars into 21 rectangles. If you are making a cookie platter, I would cut these into 42 squares.
The aroma of almonds and the sweet berry taste of the raspberry jam make this bar recipe a perfect combination! I hope you enjoyed this recipe and follow me for more great recipes to come!

Can't wait to try these! Thank you.
Can you freeze these?
I usually make cookie dough I can freeze because I cannot use such large batches all at one time. Thank you!
