Recipe Summary Canada Squares
They're all red and white with a hint of maple. When sliced, the cookies reveal a white base, red middle, and white top. They will have you singing 'O Canada' for the rest of the day!Ingredients | Campbell's Tomato Soup Canada1 cup all-purpose flour2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar½ cup butter⅓ cup seedless raspberry jam⅔ cup white sugar½ cup butter, softened2 eggs⅔ cup rice flour10 drops red food coloring, or as needed2 cups confectioners' sugar, or as needed⅓ cup butter, softened1 tablespoon milk, or as needed1 teaspoon maple extractDirectionsPreheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper; crease corners well.Whisk together 1 cup flour and 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar; cut in 1/2 cup butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Pat mixture evenly into prepared pan.Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; remove to cool on a wire rack, about 15 minutes. Top base evenly with raspberry jam.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Beat white sugar and 1/2 cup butter together until fluffy; beat in eggs until fluffy and pale yellow. Beat rice flour into egg mixture until well combined; stir in food coloring until batter reaches desired shade of red. Spread batter evenly over jam layer.Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan; about 20 minutes.Beat 2 cups confectioners' sugar and 1/3 cup butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; stir in milk and maple extract. Spread icing evenly over cooled bars.Hold edges of parchment paper; lift squares out of pan to a cutting board. Slice into 1-inch squares with a very sharp knife.Substituting almond extract for the maple is delightful for a marzipan-flavored square. Paste food coloring works best. Other colors may be used for other holidays, such as red and green for Christmas, or pink and blue for a baby shower.More maple extract may be added, but it will tint the white icing slightly.Info | Campbell's Tomato Soup Canadaprep: 30 mins cook: 50 mins additional: 35 mins total: 1 hr 55 mins Servings: 32 Yield: 64 1-inch squares
