Ingredients
For the Lemon Blueberry Bliss Bars:

- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for blueberry mixture)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Press the dough into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.

In a separate bowl, toss fresh blueberries with lemon zest, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking pan.
3. Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
4. Slice and Dust
Once cooled, slice the Lemon Blueberry Bliss Bars into squares. Dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.
