Jam Squares - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 lb butter, softened
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg
cinnamon
apricot jam, for filling

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F Lightly grease a cookie sheet with an edge.
Combine the first 4 ingredients. Mix until the dough is firm enough to roll.
Roll out 3/4 of the dough to fit the base of the cookie sheet. The remainder of the dough will be used to make the lattice.
Spread a layer of jam on the dough then sprinkle with cinnamon. Shape the leftover dough into long strands and make the lattice.
Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until slightly brown. Let the squares cool completely before cutting.
