  • 2 tbs all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp lemon zest grated
  • 2 tbs almonds chopped raw

Filling

  • 3 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), fresh,
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tbs cornstarch

Topping

  • 1/4 cup white baking chips vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square pan with foil; spray with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, crumble cookie dough; stir in oats, flour, and lemon zest until well blended. Reserve 3/4 cup mixture for topping, and transfer to small bowl; stir in almonds, and set aside. Press remaining mixture in bottom of the pan. Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown and center is set; cool 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, add 1 cup of the berries; mash slightly with potato masher or fork to release some of the juices. Stir in remaining Filling ingredients, including remaining berries, mixing well. Spread filling mixture evenly over crust. Crumble reserved cookie mixture over filling.
  • Bake 43 to 48 minutes or until the top is golden brown; cool 15 minutes.
  • In a small microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips uncovered on High 30 to 45 seconds or until chips can be stirred smooth. Spoon melted chips into a small resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of the bag, and squeeze onto bars.

Notes

Mixed Berry Crumble Cookie Bars

Mixed Berry Crumble Cookie Bars
One bite of these delightful dessert bars will have everyone asking for more. Sugar cookie dough mixed with oats and lemon zest provides the base for these bars, and a fresh berry filling topped with more cookie dough, chopped almonds, and a white chocolate drizzle makes them really shine.
  • Lining the pan with foil makes removing the bars from the pan very easy, and makes cleanup a breeze, too!
  • Fresh berries vary depending on the season. Some may be very juicy, while other times may not be as juicy. Adding cornstarch to the sweetened berry mixture ensures the extra juices are thickened during baking.
  • Cutting the bars is made easier by refrigerating before serving.
