List of Ingredients




16 ounces cream cheese
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup blueberry or other fruit preserves

SHORTBREAD BASE:
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2 cups flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350ºF. For base, cut butter into 1/2" pieces. In a food processor, process all ingredients until mixture begins to form small lumps. Sprinkle mixture into a 13x9 inch baking pan with a metal spatula, pressing evenly onto bottom. Bake shortbread in middle of oven until golden, about 20 minutes. For topping, in a bowl whisk cream cheese until smooth and whisk in eggs, sugar and vanilla. Evenly spread preserves over hot shortbread and pour cream-cheese mixture over it. Bake in middle of oven until slightly puffed, about 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan and cut into 24 bars. Bar cookies keep, covered and chilled, for 3 days. Yield: 24 bars
