Directions

  1. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Use a pastry blender or fork to cut in butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix dough well.

  2. Separate out 1/4 of the dough and chill in the refrigerator. Press remaining dough into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 15 1/2x10 1/2-inch jelly roll pan. Spread apricot preserves on 1/2 the mixture and raspberry preserves on the remaining 1/2.

  3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  4. Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll out onto a lightly floured board. Cut into 1/2-inch strips and place diagonally across the preserves to form a lattice, press around edges to seal.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  6. Allow to cool and cut into squares. Dust the top with confectioners' sugar, this keeps cookies from sticking and looks nice, too.
