This isn't healthy but it's one of the most successful and delicious recipes I have come across. I always bring this to parties and people go bonkers.

cup butter or margarine (1 1/2 sticks), softened |

teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 2 |
large egg yolks |

- in large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat butter, sugar, lemon peel and cinnamon until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. reduce speed to low; beat in egg yolks and vanilla until well combined, frequently scraping bowl. add flour and salt and beat just until blended, occasionally scraping bowl. stir in walnuts.
- with lightly floured hand, pat half of dough evenly onto bottom of prepared pan. spread raspberry jam over dough, leaving 1/4-inch border all around. with lightly floured hands, pinch off pieces of remaining dough and drop randomly on top of jam (it's okay if dough pieces touch); do not pat.
