Making Easy Cherry Pie Bars
Whisk together the flour and salt and set that aside. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs and flavor extracts and beat until smooth. Then add the flour mixture and beat just until combined.
Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray, then scoop part ( 1 1/2 cups) of the cookie dough into the dish. Spray your hands or the back of a wooden spoon with non-stick spray also. Spread the pie filling over the crust.
Dollop the remaining dough all over the top of the pie filling. Bake the bars at 350ºF for 30-35 minutes until set. Mix together the powdered sugar and the milk and drizzle over the cherry bars once they have cooled to room temperature.
