Oooh, JoLene, I have no idea! That stinks. I’m so sorry that happened. I did have something like that happen to me once when I made lime bars, where about have of the filling oozed onto the bottom of the pan. It wasn’t a complete disaster, though, since it was only on half. The same thing almost always happens when I make pecan pie bars, though.

I think the key is to make sure to really press the dough up onto the edges of the pan so you create a sort of pool for the filling to sit in. Also, you need to make sure the cookie part is slightly golden brown when you bake it so the filling has something solid to rest on. If you did those things, and it was still a problem, then I’m thinking that your convection oven may be responsible . . . maybe? Maybe since the convection oven can cook faster, and more evenly, maybe the circulating air is evenly cooking the two layers as one? But now I’m getting into an area I have no idea about! I’m only guessing here. Do you have a way to turn off the convection fan on your oven and cook it conventionally?

Does any of this help?

I just made these this afternoon and I had the best time making them! I however have a convection oven only and I am curious if that’s why my raspberry top layer baked into the bottom more like a cake and less like a bar?

Or it could be because I didn’t have any baking powder so I substituted 1/4 baking soda with a 1/2 cup plain yogurt. What do you think?
