To get started, you’ll need a few basic ingredients such as graham crackers, butter, sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, eggs, blueberries, cream cheese, white chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk. You’ll also need mixing bowls, a baking dish, measuring cups and spoons, and a spoon to spread the dough and cream cheese mixture.
The graham cracker crust is the foundation of these cookie bars, just like a strong base is the foundation of any good relationship. You’ll need to crush the graham crackers and combine them with melted butter and sugar to make a deliciously crunchy crust. Use a glass or measuring cup to press the crust down firmly and evenly, just like how you would press down on your partner’s bad habits to make them better.
The cookie dough layer is where the magic happens. It’s like the glue that holds everything together, just like how love holds a couple together. You’ll need to mix together flour, salt, and baking powder, then add in sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla extract to create a smooth and creamy dough. Spoon the dough over the graham cracker crust and spread it evenly, just like how you would spread love evenly in a relationship.
The cream cheese and blueberry filling is like the icing on the cake, or in this case, the cookie bars. Mix together cream cheese and blueberries, then spread it over the cookie dough layer. The blueberries add a pop of color and a burst of flavor, just like how your partner adds excitement and joy to your life.
The white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk are the final touches that make these cookie bars so deliciously sweet and irresistible. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the cream cheese and blueberry filling, and then drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the top. It’s like the cherry on top of a sundae, the perfect finishing touch that makes everything better.
Bake the cookie bars for 35 minutes, then let them cool on the counter for 90 minutes before placing them in the fridge for 4 hours or the freezer for 1 hour. And voila! You now have a batch of Blueberry and Cream Cookie Bars that are sure to impress your friends, family, or that special someone.
Indulge in the deliciousness of Blueberry and Cream Cookie Bars with this easy-to-follow recipe. Layers of graham cracker crust, cookie dough, cream cheese and blueberry filling, white chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk create the perfect dessert for any occasion. Try it today! Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13” baking dish with parchment paper, or lightly coat with cooking spray. You can spray with non stick cooking spray and place a sheet of parchment on top of that. Crush graham crackers and combine with melted butter and 2 tbsp of sugar. Dump the graham crackers into the parchment paper lined baking dish. Press the graham crackers into the dish. I used a glass to firmly press the crumbs into a crust. In a second bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside. In a third bowl combine ¾ c sugar and 1 stick of softened butter. Beat on medium speed until creamy. Add in egg and vanilla and mix for 1 minute. Add the flour mixture, dumping in half, blending and adding the remaining flour mixture. Spread this dough over the graham crackers, by the spoonful, flattening the dough, with the spoon, as you go. In a fourth bowl, combine cream cheese and ½ c blueberries. Mix until well combined. Spread the fruit and cream cheese over the cookie dough layer. Sprinkle white chocolate chips over the fruit and cream cheese layer. Sprinkle ½ c of blueberries over the top. Drizzle with ½ c of sweetened condensed milk. Bake for 35 minutes. Allow to cool on the counter for 90 minutes. Place the baking dish in the fridge for 4 hours, or the freezer for 1 hour before cutting. Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Do I Need Any Special Equipment
You don’t need any special tools to make these Blueberry and Cream Cookie Bars. Here are the basic tools you’ll need:
- Mixing bowls: You’ll need at least 3 bowls to mix the different components of the cookie bars.
- Measuring cups and spoons: These are essential for accurately measuring the ingredients.
- Baking dish: You’ll need a 9×13″ baking dish to bake the cookie bars.
- Parchment paper or cooking spray: To prevent the cookie bars from sticking to the baking dish, you can line it with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray. Sometimes I spray the pan and then add a sheet of parchment paper on top. This also makes it easier to lift the cookies out of the pan for cutting.
- Spoon: You’ll need a spoon to spread the cookie dough and cream cheese mixture in the baking dish.
- Glass or measuring cup: A heavy bottomed drinking glass or a metal measuring cup can be used to press the graham cracker mixture into the baking dish to create an even crust.
Overall, these tools are common kitchen items that most people already have in their kitchens, so you should be able to make these cookie bars without any special equipment.
