I made these today for an informal afternoon tea. They are quite good. Almost like eating blueberry pie out of your hand, but maybe even better than that. I clipped the recipe from Bon Appetite magazine a couple of years ago; they were from an article on bar cookies. The link above will take you to the recipe. It calls for almonds in the topping, but I omitted them. I’d also like to try the gingerbread bars from the same article. They’re described as a cross between a cookie and a cake and are also suggested for ice cream sandwiches. The article was by Lisa Zwirn, the author of Christmas Cookies: 50 Recipes to Treasure for the Holiday Season. I’m really glad I tried her blueberry bars; they make a great addition to anyone’s summer fruit dessert repertoire.
These were delicious. Bob loved the one you sent home for him.
Thanks Jo Ann – so glad you both liked them!
