Ahh, blueberry season, I love you so! Blueberry muffins, blueberry pie, blueberries eaten straight out of the carton. Blueberries, you may just be my favorite berry.
And so it is no wonder that my life got that much better when I found this recipe for blueberry cobbler bars on the Joy The Baker website. She credits the recipe to The Pastry Queen, and whomever the Pastry Queen is, I want to come live in her castle, or at least work in her kitchen, because these were…oh, my my. First of all, they include a shortbread-type crust that is made with lemon sugar. Lemon sugar! Which is made by rubbing the zest of two lemons into a lot of sugar. Among other benefits, it makes your hands smell really, really good.
Now brace yourself, because the crust is made with three, count ‘em, three sticks of butter. At this point, it is best just to throw caution to the wind, promise yourself you aren’t going to eat the whole thing yourself, and hang on the for the ride.
That buttery, lemon-sugary crust bakes up into this…
..and then you start the truly mind-blowing part, which is the blueberry cobbler topping. Eggs, more sugar, sour cream, a little flour, some salt, and a whole lot of blueberries. Mix it all up and try not to start licking the bowl while it is still full.
Pour it over the lemon crust…
…and wait, you’re not done. You’ve saved a little of the crust batter, and at this point you drop it in little chunks on the top of the berry mixture. (You can see where this is going, right?)
Bake. Dance around the kitchen. Cool.
Warm, chewy, lemony, sugary, blueberry heaven. I’ve found my thrill…
Ingredients Directions Notes (You can also use 6 cups of fresh berries, or 1 (16-ounce) package frozen berries and 3 cups of fresh berries)

These look amazing! I love that crunchy topping…yum!
Wow, looks like pure, wonderful decadence! =)
Oh, no! These look way too yummy! Your pics and posts should be in a magazine.
I am such a blueberry fan while Grumpy isn't. I will have to try these and let my co-workers benefit since I can't eat something all by myself that has 3 sticks of butter in the crust! LOL. They look awesome.

Thanks everyone! Stay cool out there — here in New Jersey I'm looking for everything I can think of to "cook" that doesn't involve ovens, stoves, etc. Although I did send the Southern husband out to the grill last night…
Thank you for this recipe- it is amazing. I made a variation, using basically all the fruit in my fruit bowl- nectarine, plums, cherries, blackberries and strawberries. SO, SO GOOD.
wow. these look so fantastically delicious! i cant wait to try making them.
I'm New and Love your Blog! These look amazing and I'm making them Soon!
I made this recipe last summer for my family and I could of sworn there was a whip cream or some sort of topping that you made on the side, and it was a great topping! Am I imagining this?
