Recipe Ingredients
Each ingredient plays a vital role in creating these incredibly delicious and easy-to-make blueberry bars!

Sugar Cookie Mix: This mix forms the sweet, buttery foundation of your blueberry bars and makes the crumble topping a breeze.
Blueberries: These vibrant berries create the signature blueberry flavor in your bars.
Sugar: Balances the natural tartness of the blueberries for a perfectly sweet filling.
Cornstarch: Cornstarch helps to create a luscious, jam-like consistency for the blueberry filling, preventing it from being too watery.

How to Make Blueberry Crumble Bars with Lemon Glaze
Here are 4 simple steps to make Blueberry Crumble Bars with Lemon Glaze. See the full recipe below for all the details.
1. Prepare and Pre-bake the Crust
When combining the butter and cookie mix for the crust and topping, mix only until it's crumbly. Overmixing can lead to a tough crust.
2. Make the Blueberry Filling
Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Assemble, Bake, and Cool
Bake until topping is light golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. Cool for at least 4 hours before cutting.
4. Glaze
When making the lemon glaze, add the lemon juice gradually, one teaspoon at a time, until you achieve your desired drizzling consistency. This prevents the glaze from being too thin or too thick.
