Cook Time 35 mins

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 c brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 c flour
  • 1/2 t. baking powder
  • zest and juice of one lemon
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 1 stick 1/2 cup unsalted cold butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 c fresh blueberries
  • 2 T cornstarch
  • 1/4 c. white granulated sugar
  • sprinkle of brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8x8 pan with non-stick spray.
  • Mix brown sugar, flour, and baking powder together in a stand mixer. Add lemon zest and salt.
  • Chop cold butter into cubes and add to the flour mix. Add in the egg and mix with the paddle attachment until blended. Batter will be crumbly.
  • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and white sugar together, stir in blueberries and lemon juice.
  • Press half of the dough in the bottom of the pan. Add the blueberry mix and crumble the rest of the dough on top. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
  • Bake for 35 minutes and let cool in the fridge. Unlike a normal cookie, these bars hold together better in the fridge. Being cool also makes them easier to cut and serve.
