• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Pulse flour, rolled oats, pecans, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a food processor 3 times to mix. Add butter and pulse until mixture begins to clump. Firmly press half of dough evenly in bottom of prepared pan. Spread with jam, then sprinkle on remaining dough and gently press into an even layer.

CRANBERRY CINNAMON JAM BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°. Butter a 9x13 baking dish or a quarter sheet pan.
• In a large bowl combine butter and sugars, mix on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time and beat to combine after each addition.
• Add the vanilla and beat until combined.
• Add the flour to the butter mixture and mix low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not over mix.
• Press approximately ½ of the dough into the prepared baking pan, and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. It won't look done, because it's not... Refrigerate the remaining 2/3 of the dough.
• Pour the cranberry jam over the crust and spread it out evenly with an offset spatula. Crumble the remaining dough over top.
• Bake until the filling is bubbly and the topping is lightly golden, about 20-30 minutes. Sprinkle candied ginger over the top.
• Let cool before cutting into squares. (I know, I know...go ahead and cut a corner out for quality control...the things we must do as bakers...)
