Cherry Cobbler Bars

What you need:

For the bars:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 can cherry pie filling

For the glaze:

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 to 2 tsp. milk
• 1/8 tsp. vanilla or almond extract

Directions:

1. For the bars: in a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a separate large bowl (or stand mixer), cream together butter and sugar for about 2 to 3 minute until smooth and creamy.
3. Beat eggs in, one at a time, and then add vanilla.
4. Add dry ingredient mixture gradually.
5. In a greased 8x8-inch baking dish, spread 3/4 dough on the bottom. I find the easiest way to do this is to take half of the dough and then half of what remains.
6. Spread the cherry pie filling over the top of the dough in the pan.
7. Then by the spoonful, drop the remaining dough on top of the cherries spaced out a little.
8. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes.
9. For the glaze: While bars are cooling, stir together glaze ingredients starting with 1 tsp. milk and adding the other if the glaze is too thick.
10. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the bars while they are still warm.
