With quick prep and minimal ingredients, this versatile dessert is ideal for breakfast, snacks, or any sweet craving.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Crust

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blueberry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. Gradually add flour, cinnamon, and salt, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan to form a solid base.
  2. Make the Blueberry Filling: In a separate bowl, gently toss the fresh blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Coat the berries evenly but carefully to avoid bursting them before baking.
  3. Assemble the Bars: Pour the blueberry filling over the pressed cookie crust and spread it out evenly. Crumble the remaining third of the cookie dough on top of the blueberries, covering most of the filling but leaving some berries peeking through.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Bubbling: Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cookie crumbles are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars to help the filling set.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best natural sweetness and juiciness.
  • Don’t overmix the dough to avoid a tough crust; mix just until combined.
  • If dough is too soft, chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes before pressing into the pan.
  • Press the cookie base firmly and evenly to avoid cracks or uneven baking.
  • Cool the bars fully before cutting to help the filling thicken and prevent them from falling apart.
