PB&J Shortbread Cookie Bars

1 cup butter, at room temp

1/2 cup sugar

1/8 cup brown sugar

2 1/4 cups flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup jam of your choice

1 cup powdered sugar

4 TB heavy whip

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Pre-heat oven to 350. Combine butter and sugars mix on low until creamy. Slowly add the flour and the salt, mix until just combined. Place dough in a buttered 8x8 pan, gently pat down. Melt the peanut butter and the jam in the microwave for about 25 sec. Pour peanut butter over dough, spread out with a spatula. Swirl jam over the peanut butter. Using a butter knife, swirl the 2 together. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting.

Combine the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla and beat on low until combined. Whip on high for a minute. Drizzle over cooled bars.
