From Chow Bella
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup unbleached granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1/2 cup strawberry jam
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. With an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together in a medium bowl, then cream in the egg yolk.
3. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder together in a smaller bowl, then gradually add the flour into the butter mixture, beating with the hand mixer. Stir in the almonds.
4. Place the jam in a small bowl and with a fork or whisk, beat out any large lumps.
5. In a buttered (use the leftover butter from the butter wrapper) 8x8-inch (I used an odd size-7 1/2x11-inch) pan, press half of the dough. Spread the jam over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch margin. Sprinkle the rest of the dough on top of the jam and gently press into a flat layer all the way to the edge of the pan.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before cutting with a serrated knife and serving.
