Ingredients needed to make Berry White Chocolate Cookie Bars

- Eggs
- Fresh strawberries and blueberries
- White chocolate chips
How to Make Berry White Chocolate Cookie Bars
Start by spraying a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar and cream cheese until it’s light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and continue to mix. Gradually add flour mixture to cream cheese and butter mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and fold in white chocolate chips. Sprinkle strawberries and blueberries with 1-2 tablespoons flour. Toss them until all berries are coated with thin layer of flour. Fold them gently into the batter and add batter to baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle sanding sugar over dough and bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let bars cool before cutting and enjoy. Oh, and try not to eat the entire pan all by yourself – this will be the hardest step.
Why we love Berry White Chocolate Cookie Bars
These cookie bars combine three of my favorite things – strawberries, blueberries, and white chocolate.  The cream cheese makes these bars moist and fluffy and the fresh berries make these the perfect summer treat. And, I love how the strawberries look like stars.
Don’t they look delicious? I might need to taste test one – or a few before sharing with everyone.
