How to Make Fresh Raspberry Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Press half of the dough into the prepared pan.
  6. In a medium bowl, gently toss the raspberries with the cornstarch and lemon juice.
  7. Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the crust.
  8. Crumble the remaining dough over the raspberry filling.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
