Ingredients

• 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temp, plus more for greasing the pan
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 extra-large eggs, at room temp
• 2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups raspberry jam or other jam
• 2/3 cups salted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9×13×2-inch baking pan.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until well combined.

3. In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.

4. Spread two thirds of the dough in the prepared pan, using a knife to spread it evenly. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam. Don’t worry if all the jam isn’t covered; the dough will spread when it bakes. Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut into small squares.
