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:
- For the bars: in a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl (or stand mixer), cream together butter and sugar for about 2 to 3 minute until smooth and creamy.
- Beat eggs in, one at a time, and then add vanilla.
- Add dry ingredient mixture gradually.
- 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.
- Spread the cherry pie filling over the top of the dough in the pan.
- Then by the spoonful, drop the remaining dough on top of the cherries spaced out a little.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drizzle the glaze over the top of the bars while they are still warm.
