Berrylicious Cookie Bars

When it comes to baking, I tend to stick to the tried and true. You know, those basic recipes that we know are going to work, even if we make small changes to them. This is one of those. I have a recipe for Lemon Blueberry Bars that my family loves, so I knew these Berrylicious Bars would be a big hit as well.

I used frozen blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries, but you can use any combination of berries you’d like. Don’t like nuts? I like the crunch and flavor the almonds add, but the cookie bars will be just as good without them.

To make these Berrylicious Bars, you will need:

(full printable recipe below)

• 2 sticks of butter
• 2 cups of light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups of flour
• 2 cups of oats
• 1/4 cup of slivered almonds
• 2 cups of frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries
• 13 x 9 baking dish
• stand mixer

These Berrylicious Cookie Bars always disappear quickly (at least they do in our house!), so I always try to freeze about half the batch to save them for later. But in addition to being a delicious after school and on-the-go snack, they’re an easy dessert to bring to potlucks and with the red and blue berries, they’d be great for 4th of July as well!
