Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 315 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 240 grams raspberry jam (seedless preferred)
- 125 grams fresh raspberries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract, followed by the flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping and press the remaining dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base.
Step 5
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the base layer using a spatula. Scatter the fresh raspberries over the jam layer, lightly pressing them into the jam.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the raspberry layer.
Step 7
Crumble the reserved dough over the top, ensuring some of the raspberry and chocolate layers peek through for a rustic look.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling slightly.
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Step 10
Slice into 16 squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
