To make the Farmer’s Cheese Bars, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease an 11x7-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
To the bowl of a food processor, add 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
Add in ¾ cup cubed butter and pulse to combine until crumbly, with pea-sized butter chunks throughout the flour mixture.
In a mixing bowl, mix together 2 cups farmer’s cheese, ¾ cup sugar, 4 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
Press ⅔ of the flour mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the filling over the crust and sprinkle the remaining flour mixture evenly over the top of the farmer’s cheese filling.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden in color.
Let cool before slicing into bars.
Serve and enjoy! These bars are delicate and tender, so be gentle when you handle them.
