Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together. Press two-thirds of the dough into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Spread the raspberry jam over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
