Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 80 ml maple syrup
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 220 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the bowl, followed by the eggs. Whisk again until everything is well combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much to avoid excess moisture release.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once cooled, dust the cookie bars with powdered sugar, if desired, before slicing them into 12 equal squares or rectangles.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy your Maple Raspberry Cookie Bars!
