Recipe - Oatmeal Raspberry Bar Cookies

One half cup Butter; room temperature
One half cup Light brown sugar
1 cup Flour
One fourth teaspoon Baking soda
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Rolled oats
Three fourths cup Seedless raspberry jam

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8" square pan, set aside. Mix all
ingredients together except the jam. Press 2 cups of the mixture into the
bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the jam to within 1/4" of the edge.
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top and lightly press it into
the jam. Bake 35 to 40 minutes and allow to cool on a wire rack before
cutting into 2 x 11/2" bars.
