Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine the muffin mix and butter in a bowl. You can use your fingertips or a pastry blender for this step. The mixture should be crumbly, with small buttery pieces throughout.
- Pat this buttery crumble mixture into an ungreased 9-inch square pan, pressing it down evenly to form the crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until it turns a light golden brown.
- Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the warm crust. This step allows the jam to melt slightly and adhere to the crust.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. This helps set the jam and bring out its sweet, fruity flavor.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for a bit.
- Sift the confectioners’ sugar over the jam layer. This adds a sweet finishing touch and makes the bars look beautifully dusted.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This ensures clean, neat slices.
These Strawberry Bar Cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a gathering, need a quick dessert fix, or simply want a sweet treat with your afternoon tea. π΅π They’re wonderfully easy to make, using simple ingredients that come together in no time! Enjoy the sweet, fruity goodness of these bars with every delicious bite! ππ
