Use high-quality raspberry jam for the best flavor. For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the dough. Chopped nuts, like almonds or pecans, can be added to the dough for extra texture. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of jam, such as apricot or strawberry. Store the baked bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
