1 Video | Photo: Raspberry Cake Bars Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 package (18-ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough, softened (recommended: Pillsbury)
- 3/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square glass baking dish with enough foil so there is an overhang on 2 sides.
Mix the cookie dough with the lemon extract, kneading to combine. With damp fingers, press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the jam over the dough. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the top of jam. Scatter the pecans over top. Bake until browned around the edges and cooked through in the center, about 35 minutes. Let cool in pan. Lift edges of foil to remove the bars. The bars are soft, so carefully cut into 2-inch squares or diagonally into pennant shapes.

This was so easy and so tasty. I added white choc chips on the top of the jam and it was so wonderful. Will definitely be making this again!!!

These were AWESOME. A big hit with the family on Christmas. I don't know what the problem is with all those other people below but they came out perfect for me. I have already emailed the receipt to 3 family members. They were great. And not a crumb left!

This recipe is flawed because you can't buy an 18 oz pkg of this cookie. So if you then use 2/3 of the pkg you can buy, the bottom is so thin that the jam leaks through to the bottom and sticks to the foil. After two failed attempts, I decided to use one pkg on the bottom and 1/3 of another pkg on top. That one worked. I suspect everyone who encountered sticky did it the way I did the first two times and everyone who didn't have stick did it the last way I did.
In the final analysis, this recipe doesn't save enough time to merit the whole reason behind Ms. Lee's concept. Many other good easy raspberry bar recipes out there.
