Blueberry Squares

These have been one of my husband's favorite cookies since he was little. Now it is a family favorite. You can make these with whatever jam you prefer. We like our homemade blueberry or raspberry, but apricot and strawberry are good too.

  3/4 cup butter, softened


• 
  
  1 cup sugar

  1/2 tsp baking powder
