What You'll Need

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

1 tablespoon sour cream
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup strawberry jam
2 tablespoons light brown sugar

What to Do

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar until creamy. Beat in sour cream and egg. Stir in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Press half of the dough into bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Spread jam evenly over dough, then gently spread remaining dough over top. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and nuts. Bake about 35 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into bars.
