How to Make Raspberry Walnut Shortbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups flour and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumbly mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
  7. Spread 1 cup of raspberry jam evenly over the warm shortbread crust.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and the remaining 1 cup flour. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  10. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  11. Spoon the walnut mixture evenly over the raspberry jam layer.
  12. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and set.
  13. Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
