🥧 How To Make Pioneer Woman Cherry Pie Cookie Bars

For the cookie bars:

1. Bring the oven up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Add the granulated sugar, butter, and orange zest to an electric mixer bowl and beat with a paddle attachment for 1 to 2 minutes, or until pale and fluffy.
3. Gradually add the eggs, whisking constantly, followed by the vanilla. Blend until combined.
4. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt by sifting them together. Stir in half of the dry ingredients with the sugar and butter combination, and then add half of the milk.
5. Mix in the rest of the dry ingredients, then the remaining milk, and continue to mix until a dough forms.
6. In a glass baking dish that measures 9 by 13 inches, press down two-thirds of the dough. Evenly distribute the cherry pie filling by pouring it over the crust.
7. Sprinkle the pie filling with spoonfuls of the remaining dough. Allow 35 to 40 minutes for the center to set and for the borders and top to get golden. Set the bars aside to cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes.

For the glaze:

1. In a bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and lemon zest; whisk until combined.
2. Pour the glaze over the bars. Cut into bars in the baking dish before serving.
