Matrimonials are a classic dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. They are named that way because they represent the union of two great flavors - sweet and salty. These cookies are perfect for sharing with loved ones, and they are so simple to make that they can be whipped up in a matter of minutes. The oats in this recipe give the cookies a crunchy texture, while the butter and jam create an irresistible sweet and salty taste. Whether you are looking for a quick dessert for a family gathering or a sweet treat to enjoy with your afternoon tea, Matrimonials are a great choice.

4.	Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
5.	Spread the raspberry or strawberry jam over the top of the crumb mixture.
