Cinnamon Shortbread Bars Recipe

These melt-in-your-mouth Shortbread Cookie Bars feature a yummy layer of jam nestled between two delicious layers of shortbread. Easy to make and super delicious.

A long long time ago, I got a recipe from a friend for Shortbread Bars. They were printed on a piece of paper and they were called Granny Lawrence’s Shortbread Cookie Bars. We’ve been making them ever since, mentally thanking Granny Lawrence for her yummy shortbread and jam cookie recipe and picturing my friend baking with her Granny during the holidays. A few years ago I mentioned the cookies to my friend. She couldn’t stop laughing. She doesn’t have a Granny Lawrence. She doesn’t remember where she got the recipe. Granny Lawrence only exists in my imagination. Luckily, the recipe is real. If you’ve got a hankering for a yummy shortbread bar, give a silent thanks to somebody’s Granny Lawrence and make a batch of these cookies.

Shortbread

Step 1: Add butter to a mixer and cream until fluffy (2-3 minutes.). Add Powdered Sugar and mix until combined. Add Baking Soda with the Flour (one cup at a time) and mixed just until combined.

Step 3: Press half of the dough into a parchment paper-lined baking pan (we used a 7×11″ Brownie Pan to have a little bit of a thicker shortbread layer but a 9×13″ pan will work too.)

Step 5: Remove the pan from the oven. It should be a little bit brown, just around the edges of the crust.

Step 8: Take the second portion of shortbread dough out of the refrigerator. Scatter pieces of the dough on the top of the jam.

Step 9: Increase the oven temperature to 375 and place the pan back in the oven. Cook the Shortbread Cookie Bars for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is a light golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely before cutting into individual cookie bar pieces.

Any kind you want. We used Seedless Red Rasberry Jam but any kind will work. With Seeds, Without Seeds … it’s all good.

Cooled Shortbread Cookie Bars stored in an airtight container will stay fresh for 3-4 days. They will be good in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can refrigerate them, but take them out a couple of hours before you serve them because shortbread doesn’t taste that great cold.
