Cherry Dream Bars

Ingredients

For the Bars:

1. ½ cup butter, softened
2. 1 cup granulated sugar
3. ½ teaspoon salt
4. 2 large eggs
5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6. 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
7. ½ teaspoon baking powder
8. 1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling

For the Glaze:

1. ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
2. 1 ½ tablespoons milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-x-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar, about 1-2 minutes. Add salt, eggs, and vanilla and continue stirring until fully incorporated. Add flour and baking powder and mix until just combined. Reserve ½ cup of dough. Press remaining dough into the prepared baking pan. Top with cherry pie filling. Drop remaining batter (1/2 cup) in small pieces over the cherry filling.
3. Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled prepare the glaze. Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth and drizzle over the bars. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
