For the Bars:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar, powdered sugar, and butter for about 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla and eggs. Beat until smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed. Add the baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Then slowly add in the flour, and beat until just combined.

For the Topping:

- Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled cookie crust. Top with the berries and keep in the fridge to chill until ready to serve. Cut into bars and enjoy!
Notes
To make the cream cheese/white chocolate frosting a little sweeter, add 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
