Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13" baking dish; line with parchment paper, with excess hanging over the sides.
Bars:
In a bowl, whisk together sugar, butter, eggs, egg yolk, oil, lemon zest, milk and vanilla until thoroughly blended.
In another bowl, whisk together bread flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to the butter mixture;
stir until barely blended. Add in raspberries; continue to blend until just combined and raspberries are evenly distributed. The raspberries may bleed a little. The dough will be thick.
Spoon dough into prepared baking dish; gently press down with dampened hands to cover the bottom of the dish.
Bake in the center of the oven 35 - 40 minutes. Remove from oven. It will continue to firm up while it cools. Let cool completely.
Lemon Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice; add in milk, 1 T. at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. It should be thick enough to not run off the bars, but thin enough to drizzle.
Drizzle glaze over bars.
Serve.
