Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
Fruits and Add-ins
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookie bars bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.
- Prepare Your Baking Dish: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. This makes it easy to lift the bars out later.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Lemon Zest: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the lemon zest, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in Blueberries and Chocolate: Gently fold in the blueberries and white chocolate chips, taking care not to break the berries.
- Bake the Cookie Bars: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Drizzle with White Chocolate: Once the bars are cool, melt additional white chocolate and drizzle it over the top for that delicious finishing touch.
Notes
- Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries will provide the best flavor and texture compared to frozen ones.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix until just combined to ensure your cookie bars remain soft and tender.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting to avoid crumbling.
- Use Parchment Paper: This makes cleanup a breeze and helps with easy removal of the bars.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add a pinch of salt or vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
