Apricot Jam Bars Recipe
Orna Purkin of OrnaBakes.com shows how to make easy and delicious South African Apricot Jam Cookie Bars.
Get the recipe:
1/26/21 update: I prefer grating/crumbling half the cold dough into the pan and pressing down gently and use a little of the second half of dough to fill in any holes. (See recipe link above) This makes a lighter, crisper texture.
You can use raspberry, strawberry, or any other jam or preserves. The tartness of the jam balances the sweetness of the buttery cookie.
In South Africa these were called farfel biscuits because the grated dough looks like little pellets or flake-like noodles. Adapted from The New International Goodwill Recipe Book.
Bake in a round pan and slice into wedges to make it more like a cake.
