Butter Bars From Scratch: Gooey Goodness Awaits! (Page 2 ) | April 5, 2025

Prepare the Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until a dough forms. Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Alternatively, you can spray the pan directly without using foil. The foil helps with easy removal and clean cuts but is not essential.
Press the Dough: Evenly pat the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined and smooth, with no lumps.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Note that these bars are meant to remain slightly gooey in the center, so rely on the golden color rather than the toothpick test.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to ensure the top layer sets properly.
Notes:
These bars are delicious warm but may be less visually appealing when cut right away. For the best presentation, let them cool, but don’t hesitate to enjoy a warm piece straight from the oven!
