Fruit Filled Cookie Bars

I had a difficult fourth dimension coming upward amongst a refer for this delicious treat. It is non precisely a cake, but it's a niggling soft to last a cookie. It does remind me a niggling of 1 of those big soft cake-y saccharide cookies, but don't forget it has a juicy fruit filling too, thus what category does it actually autumn into?  Answer: Yummy Category!!


Usually, we only consume these out of hand, but they are also prissy plenty for companionship if yous serve them amongst a scoop of H2O ice cream!! Either means they are difficult to musical rhythm out amongst a tall drinking glass of milk or a hot loving cup of tea.

1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
14 ounce tin move fruit pie filling (see note)

Cream butter, saccharide in addition to vanilla together until real good mixed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating good inwards betwixt each egg.

Add flour in addition to musical rhythm out until good mixed, in addition to thus allow the dough sit down for virtually v minutes.

Press 3/4 of the dough into a lightly greased 9" x 9" pan (I purpose a (9" springform pan).  Make the exterior border only a niggling deeper than the residuum of the crust (this volition assistance proceed the fruit away from the border of the pan).

Top amongst fruit filling (see note) in addition to and thus drib niggling bits of the residuum of the reserved dough on overstep of the fruit filling.

Bake inwards a pre-heated 375 oven for 35-40 minutes depending on how hot your oven runs. My electrical oven takes 37 minutes.

Let cool for a piece in addition to thus drizzle amongst a vanilla frosting glaze.

Cool in addition to shop covered.



NOTES:

Any domicile made or commercial fruit filling volition function good inwards the recipe, but I propose that if yous purpose a commercial pie filling, that yous jazz it upward a little. Example: if you are using cherry pie filling, add together 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract, if yous are using apple tree pie filling, chop them upward a niggling in addition to add together a niggling to a greater extent than cinnamon in addition to nutmeg or mayhap a few raisin? Use your imagination.

You tin move double the ingredients in addition to bake it inwards a 9" x 13" pan for 40-45 minutes.  Either way, purpose the toothpick exam to brand certain its done inwards the middle.
