Here’s a recipe for Luscious Blueberry Lemon Cookie Bars with White Chocolate Drizzle. These bars are soft, tangy, and sweet, with the perfect blend of blueberries, lemon zest, and white chocolate.
Ingredients:
Cookie Bars:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
White Chocolate Drizzle:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice until combined.
- Combine Wet & Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Cool: Let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- White Chocolate Drizzle: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Drizzle: Once the bars are completely cool, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top in a zig-zag pattern. Let the drizzle set.
- Slice & Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy!
