How to Make Lemon Jam Slices

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the dough in half. Press each half into a 10x15 inch rectangle on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Using a knife or offset spatula, create a lengthwise trench in the center of each rectangle, about 1/2 inch deep and wide.
  7. Spread lemon curd evenly into the trenches.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Rotate pans halfway through.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes before cutting into bars. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
