Equipment

  • 1 11x17" jelly roll pan
  • 2 large mixing bowls
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 spatula
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

BARS:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 3/4 cup canola oil or use coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp. water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 5 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberry pie filling

CREAM CHEESE ICING:

  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. raspberry extract
  • 6 drops red food coloring as desired

Instructions
 

BARS:

  • Cream together butter, canola oil, sugars, water, eggs, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
  • Spread dough into a 11x17” greased jelly-roll pan.
  • Spread raspberry pie filling over top.
  • With a bamboo skewer or table knife, swirl the raspberry pie filling into cookie dough mixture.
  • Bake cookies at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely.
  • Spread icing over top.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.
  • Refrigerate blondies about an hour or two before cutting into bars.

CREAM CHEESE ICING:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  • Add vanilla and mix again with blender.
  • Gradually add in powdered sugar a cup at a time.
  • Continue mixing with mixer until all the powdered sugar is used and the icing is thick.
  • Drizzle food coloring and raspberry extract over top of icing and mix one last time.
  • Spread over top of cooled Raspberry Swirl Bars.
  • Refrigerate.

Notes

NOTE: My bars took 45 minutes to cook before a toothpick inserted in center came out clean.
 
NOTE: I used a bamboo skewer to swirl the batter and raspberry pie filling. But I believe a knife or the bottom of a spoon would be more effective.
 
NOTE: These bars need to be refrigerated about 2 hours after adding the icing so the icing sets up enough and doesn’t drizzle down the sides when cutting.
 
NOTE: If you prefer a really thick icing, double the icing ingredients.
 
NOTE: You can use a whole can of raspberry pie filling, if desired.
