These are somewhat time-consuming but oh so worth it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The combination of raspberry and chocolate in these cookie bars is divine. There are four layers of textures and flavor. They start with a crumbly shortbread crust, then a creamy cheesecake, next is tart raspberry jam, and finally a silky chocolate layer on top. Feel free to get creative and change the flavor of the jam. Each bite tastes like a fine dessert. They'll be very popular wherever you bring them.
