How to Make Czechoslovakian Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large egg yolks until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Spoon half of the dough into the prepared pan and press evenly into the bottom.
  7. Spread 1 cup of your favorite strawberry jam evenly over the dough layer.
  8. Top with the remaining cookie dough, spreading evenly.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting.
  11. Once cooled, cut into 1x2 inch bars.
  12. Dust generously with powdered sugar while still slightly warm.
  13. For a larger batch, double the recipe and use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Baking time may need to be adjusted slightly.
