Strawberry Streusel Bars


Ingredients:

1 C Butter, softened
1 C Granulated sugar
1 egg
2 C flour
3/4 C pecans (or walnuts), coarsely chopped
1 10 oz jar strawberry or raspberry preserves (you can use any other fruit preserves as well-I used boysenberry the other day)
1 recipe Powdered Sugar Icing
(1 C sifted powdered sugar, 1 T milk, 1/4 tsp vanilla, mix together in small bowl until combined and drizzle over bars)

Directions:
In a medium bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until combined, scraping the sides occasionally.

Add egg and beat until combined. Beat in flour, and add nuts. Set aside 1 cup of the mixture for topping. Press remaining mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 baking dish.

Spread preserves over crust to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Dot with reserved nut mixture.

Bake in a 350* oven about 45 minutes, or until topping is golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack.
Drizzle with icing and cut into bars.
