Step 1

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter a 8-by-8-inch baking dish. In the bowl of a standing mixer (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar at medium speed for about 3 minutes. Add the salt and vanilla and continue to beat until well combined. Add the flours and continue to beat until the dough comes together.

Step 2

Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Prick it with a fork in about 20 places. Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Slide a dull knife along the edges. Cool for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Carefully turn the slab of shortbread out onto a clean surface. With a knife, trim 1 inch from one of the sides. Crumble the trimmings into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cut the rest of the shortbread into 16 squares and allow to cool.

Step 4

Spread a thick layer of jam on each square, and then sprinkle with the crumbs. Layered between plastic wrap or wax paper in an airtight container, the cookies will keep for 3 to 4 days.
