This simple Blueberry Square recipe is from my Mother in Law, not sure how long it’s been around but I’ve been making them for 20 years and they never disappoint. A recent trip to Maine and Stonewall Kitchen had me making these with a great big jar of their Maine blueberry jam!

I’ve also made these with canned blueberry filling and fresh blueberries, they come out perfect every time, so don’t stress over what kind of blueberries to use

Two sticks softened butter

Cream butter and 2 cups of sugar

Add eggs, one at a time

Mix in vanilla extract

Mix in the flour

Spread 3/4 batter in pan

This blueberry jam is SO good!

Spread 2 cups on dough

Dollop the remaining batter on top

Bake 30 minutes

I like to use parchment paper but you can also grease a cookie sheet with butter or crisco if you’d rather
cream the sugar and butter together
beat in eggs, one at a time
add the vanilla extract
beat in the flour
spread 3/4 batter on bottom, it will spread so I leave about an inch around the edges

    Growing up, we called these "Blueberry Peek-a-Boo Squares". My mum always made them with canned blueberry pie filling. And she sprinkled cinnamon sugar on the top before baking. She got the recipe from a dear friend and it was written on a pink piece of paper that was in the shape of a foot! This was about 40 years ago and I remember that pink "foot paper" as clear as day. Thank you for bringing back a great memory!

      I love the addition of sprinkling the top with cinnamon sugar, definitely doing that next time! So glad I could bring back nice memories!
