Preheat oven to 375°. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper or foil. If using foil, spray with cooking spray.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and stir well. Stir in the oats.

Combine sugar and butter in a medium bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add the flour mixture to butter mixture, and stir until well blended (mixture will be crumbly.) Remove ¾ cup of dough; toss with chocolate chips. Set aside. Press the remaining dough into an 8-inch square baking pan, and spread evenly with jam. Sprinkle with chocolate chip mixture.

Bake at 375° 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
