Strawberry Jam Squares - butter

Method

• Preheat oven to 325.
• You will need an 8x8" ungreased baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, cream the butter with the sugar, and then beat in the egg yolks.
• Stir in the flour and nuts gradually.
• Form the dough into a ball and cut in half.
• Wrap half the dough in plastic wrap and put in the freezer while you work with the first half.
• Pat the dough evenly into an 8x8" pan.
• Stir the jam to soften, and spread on the dough in the pan.
• Remove the remaining dough from the freezer and roll out between 2 pieces of plastic wrap into an 8x8" square.
• Lay the dough on top of the jam in the pan.
• Bake at 325F for 55-60 minutes, or until lightly browned.
• Cut into small squares as this is very sweet and rich.
• I usually slice 6 sections each way for 36 cookies.
