I find myself walking through the kitchen picking up these fuzzy fruits and inhaling the sweet aroma. Peaches are an amazing fruit. Given this obsession it was only a matter of time before I made yet another peach dessert.
These super easy bar cookies can be made with any fruit or berry. I think blueberries and peaches would also be nice – but that idea came to me after I finished making these. Oh no – guess I’ll have to make another batch! These bars start with a simple crumb crust. Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
