Instructions for Strawberry Cream Cheese Bars
Cream the room temperature butter, cream cheese, and sugar together for 5 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Add the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and blend.

Add the eggs and blend.

Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Spread the cookie batter into a sprayed 9×13 pan. Make sure the batter covers the bottom of the prepared pan.

Squeeze or spoon the strawberry jam in an “s” pattern on top of the cookie batter. Then use a knife and swirl it back and forth through the jam to spread it through the batter. You could use different berries if you prefer for your topping.

Bake and then let it cool before enjoying this delicious treat!

I hope you get a chance to try these delicious bar cookies soon and please let me know what you think!

I wanted to LOVE these. First, this is more like a coffee cake. And very little strawberry flavor. The sugar cookie crust was just that. Not much flavor for so much flour. really blah… No one in our family liked them. But if you like a huge fat sugar cookie, you will enjoy it.
Your photos show a glass pan. Is this what you recommend?
