CRANBERRY-ORANGE COOKIE BARS



Cranberry-Orange Cookie Bars image

The first time I tried these, a co-worker on a specialized team brought them in for breakfast. She got them from Starbucks® (a seasonal delight, I'm told). So, I checked them out after I got off from work and at over $2 per little "triangle" piece, I decided I'd learn to make them for a lot less. My family members all urged me to recreate these. So after a bit of research, I found that there's a few copycat recipes online; but this is my twist on that concept.

Time 2h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
⅓ cup white sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon orange extract
½ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®), chopped
1 tablespoon grated orange zest, or more to taste
⅓ cup white chocolate chips
½ teaspoon canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for bars together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir in eggs, orange extract, and vanilla extract until well blended. Add flour, baking powder, and ginger; mix until well incorporated and the batter looks like soft cookie dough. Stir in cranberries and white chocolate chips until well mixed. Spread the stiff batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Don't overbake, or your bars will be dry. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix cream cheese and butter for frosting together until light and fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar and orange extract; beat mixture until fluffy and spreadable. Spread evenly over the cooled bars.
  • Combine cranberries and orange zest for topping in a food processor and roughly chop. Sprinkle evenly over the frosted bars.
  • Mix white chocolate chips and oil together in a glass, microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave until fluid enough to drizzle, 1 minute to 1 minute 15 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds until melted. Use a fork or whisk to drizzle the melted chocolate diagonally across the bars.
  • Allow chocolate to set for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares or triangles.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and flavorful streusel topping, use a combination of butter, flour, sugar, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The butter should be cold and cut into small pieces to create a crumbly texture. Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • For even baking, ensure the cranberry-orange filling is spread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth out the top of the filling before adding the streusel topping.
  • Bake the bars in a preheated oven to prevent them from spreading too much. The edges of the bars should be golden brown and the center should be set. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bars; if it comes out clean, they are done baking.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from crumbling and falling apart. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to make clean, even cuts.
