❃How to make Oatmeal Jam Filled Bars

💗In a medium bowl, combine, flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk slightly melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Add dry ingredients and stir with the mixture until combined.

 💗Pull out about 1 1/2 cups (a little less than half) of the cookie dough and set that portion aside (for topping). Drop the remaining dough into the prepared pan and press it down into a flat layer. Bake for 10 minutes.

💗Remove from the oven and carefully spread the jam on top of the cookie base. 

💗Take the reserved cookie dough and crumble it over the top of the jam layer. Return to the oven and bake for 14-16 more minutes, until the topping is light golden brown. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool.

💗Let cool for 30 minutes, then chill for 30 minutes or more to firm up.

❃Storing Oatmeal Jam-Filled Bars

These bars freeze really well. I recommend cooling completely and slicing into bars before freezing.
