How to Make Amy's Special Raspberry Jam Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (16 oz) sugar cookie mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons water. Mix until just combined.
  4. Stir in 1 cup white chocolate chips. Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
  6. While the bars cool, prepare the frosting: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter, and 2-3 tablespoons milk. Microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie base.
  8. Drop 1 cup raspberry jam (or blueberry/cherry) by spoonfuls onto the frosting. Swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before cutting into bars.
