Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1.5 cups cherry preserves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats by hand until evenly distributed. The dough will be thick.

Step 7

Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base layer.

Step 8

Spread the cherry preserves over the dough base, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent the preserves from sticking to the sides of the pan.

Step 9

Crumble the remaining dough over the cherry layer, allowing some of the preserves to peek through for a rustic look.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and set.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into bars.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
