Recipe: Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment or foil.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the egg, peanut butter, and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
Combine the flour mixture with the peanut butter mixture and stir until a thick dough forms.
Press ¾ of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish evenly.
Spread the jam over the cookie dough layer.
Crumble the remaining dough over the jam and sprinkle peanuts on top, pressing them in gently.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Let cool slightly, lift out of the dish using the parchment, and cut into 12 pieces.
