Description
Simple recipe for soft, chewy cookie bars with a blueberry filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for glaze (optional)
- 1 tablespoon milk for glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting.
- If using the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bars.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- For a slightly firmer bar, bake for an extra 5 minutes.
- You can substitute other berries for the blueberries if you prefer.
