Oatmeal Raspberry Cookie Bars


1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 c. flour
1/3 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c. oats
1/2 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. seedless raspberry jam

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease one 8" square pan and line with greased foil.
2. Combine brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats. Rub in the butter using your hands or a pastry blender to form a crumbly mixture. Press 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the jam to within 1/4" of the edge. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top, and lightly press it into the jam.
3. Bake for 35-40 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.
