Blueberry-Lemon-Cream Cheese Bars Contributed by Liza Braunlich Crust: 1 c. butter 1 c. powdered sugar 2 c. flour 1 tsp. vanilla extract Beat the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add flour and mix just until mixture forms crumbs. Press about 2/3 of the crumbs in the bottom of a 13 X 9 inch greased baking dish. Bake 400° for 10 – 12 min. NOTE: I usually just microwave the butter and stir in the sugar, flour and vanilla and it works fine. Filling: 8 oz. cream cheese ¼ cup sugar Microwave the cream cheese until warm, add the sugar and spread over baked crust. Mix together and spread on crust: ½ c. granulated sugar 3 T. flour Juice and zest of one lemon 1/8 tsp salt 3 eggs 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries Sprinkle remaining cookie base on top. Bake 350 for 30-40 minutes. Cool completely |
