Dried Blueberry, Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookie Bars recipe makes for a great holiday recipe idea. These red, white and blue desserts are so quick and easy to make.
So… I have been saving this recipe in my drafts folder for almost a year now, waiting to post it around the 4th of July.
But this summer has been a blur of activity, that the 4th of July came and went without me noticing.
To be fair, I’m Canadian. And I was in Italy. I don’t feel too bad about it.
But now you have the recipe a month later! Yay!
Plus it’s not like you NEED to eat this on the fourth of July. The ingredients are available all year round.
SPEAKING of the ingredients, have you ever tried dried blueberries?? If you haven’t, BUY THEM NOW!!
Preferably from Wild Coast Fruit if you are in Canada. I will have to find a different place to buy my dried blueberries now that I am moving to the US.
These Blueberry, Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookie Bars are some of my favourite bars to make. I have made the cookie base before in my Chocolate and Pretzel Cookie Bars as well as my regular Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars, so I knew that they would be good with white chocolate and dried fruit.
When you have something that works, why try to fix it?
Anything in the form of a cookie bar goes really quickly in my house.
It’s funny, because none of the store bought desserts go very fast. They stick around for weeks, it seems like I always need to make more and bake more to satisfy everyone.
But with bars like these, why would you buy store bought desserts? And if you are looking for a fun red white and blue treat for the adults, try these Red White and Blue Jello Shots!

Pin for Later
I used to try and do July 4th recipes but I always forgot and at the end of the day I’m British so I just decided to give up doing them! I bet these are fantastic any time of the year.
Haha, right? It’s not worth the extra views.
What a great idea for red, white and blue themed foods! Not that I would need a theme to eat one of these, they look fantastic and pretty easy to make. I’m not much of a baker but I think I can handle this. Great post!
Agree!! Don’t need any excuse for this 😉
Oh my goodness……. I need these in my belly like NOW!!! Seriously, you had me at white chocolate and cranberries. I cannot wait to make these for my church potluck next week. Thanks for another amazing recipe!
I hope you do! Thanks 🙂
