White Chocolate and Raspberry Bars
Sweet and creamy white chocolate provides the perfect contrast to sweet-tart raspberries in these delicious cookie bars! With white chocolate drizzled all over, these yummy treats come out so pretty and festive. Perfect for holiday baking and as an edible Christmas present!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chunks from a chocolate bar or white chocolate chips, divided.
- 4 tbsp butter, softened at room temperature.
- 1/2 cup sugar, use white granulated.
- 1 egg, - large at room temperature.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 oz punnet red raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Butter an 8 x8 baking pan. Line with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Melt half the chocolate either by using the microwave or a double boiler (ensure the pan is not touching the water). If using a chocolate bar, chop the remaining white chocolate. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to beat just until combined. Add the melted chocolate and beat until well-blended.
- Adjust the speed to low and slowly add the flour and mix just until combined. Add in the remaining chocolate leaving behind about 2 tablespoons. Set the latter aside to use as a drizzle. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Add a tablespoon of sugar to the raspberries and toss gently. Distribute the sugared raspberries all over and press gently into the batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate then drizzle all over the entire surface. Begin drizzling at one corner and do it diagonally until you reach the other end corner. Allow the chocolate to set then slice it into 16 bars. Enjoy.
