Ingredients

FOR THE FIRST LAYER:
1-1/4 cup Flour
1/2 cups Sugar
1/2 cups Butter (No Substitutes)
8 ounces, weight Seedless Raspberry Jam
_____
FOR THE TOPPPING:
2/3 cups Flour
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 cup Chopped Pecans
1/2 bags (12 Oz. Bag) White Chocolate Chips, Chopped To Small Pieces
6 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 teaspoons Almond Extract

Directions

1

Mix all the topping ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
2

To make the first layer, blend flour, sugar, and butter. Press into a greased cookie sheet or bar pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until very lightly browned. Spread jam over the layer.
3

After the first layer comes out of the oven and the jam has been spread, sprinkle the topping over the jam. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.
4

I find it easier to have the topping ready to go-everything chopped and mixed before starting this cookie, as you do not want to wait to spread the jam after it comes out of the oven.
