1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan.

2. Drain cottage cheese for 10 minutes.

3. Blend cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest and juice, and sugar until smooth.

4. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt; combine with wet ingredients.

5. Swirl in melted white chocolate and sprinkle chips if using.

6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until set around edges and slightly jiggly in center.

7. Cool completely before slicing.

Drain cottage cheese well to avoid sogginess.

Use fresh lemon zest and juice for brightness.

Bars firm up as they cool—slice after fully chilled.

Reduce sugar or use sweetener to taste for a lighter version.
