In Southern California, they have a restaurant called Corner Bakery that I love – their sandwiches and salads are amazing, but so are their desserts. They have a bunch of bar cookies and one of them is a raspberry bar. This recipe comes pretty close to Corner Bakery’s, which is a big plus.
I first made this a few months ago and have made it a handful of times since then. I like to use raspberry preserves, partly because that’s what we always have on hand, but I’d like to try it with other jam flavors.
