Ingredients
- 1-16.5 oz tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1-8oz package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest from one lemon
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 8 or 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Divide the cookie dough in half. Press half the dough into the bottom of the prepared pain in an even layer.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and egg. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the bottom layer of cookie dough. Top with an even layer of fresh blueberries. Crumble the remaining cookie dough evenly over the top.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes until top is golden brown. Cool completely at room temperature then refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, to prepare the glaze, stir together powdered sugar with lemon juice. Add one tablespoon of lemon juice at a time until desired consistency is achieved. Drizzle glaze over cooled bars and return them to the refrigerator for their remaining chill time.
- Cut cooled bars into 12 squares. Store in the refrigerator.
