repare the Cookie Dough:

- Cream butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually combine with wet ingredients until dough forms.

2. Bake the Cookie Bars:
- Spread dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Cool completely before transferring to a wire rack.
3. Prepare the White Chocolate Glaze:
- Combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
4. Assemble and Serve:
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookie bars.
- Garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest.
- Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Toss blueberries in a bit of flour before adding to the dough to prevent them from sinking.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
- Refrigerating the bars extends their shelf life.
