CRANBERRY BARS
Time 50m
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350*F Grease a 9x13 casserole dish and set aside. Blend butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Add salt, baking powder and flour (1/2 cup at a time) until well blended. Mixture should be pretty thick. Stir in cranberries and optional nuts if desired. Pour mixture into prepared pan. It should be pretty thick. Push mixture around pan to the best o your ability, but don't over think it. As it bakes, it will fill in any gaps you may have. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until mixture begins to turn golden and a toothpick inserted into bars comes out clean. Set aside to cool while making the frosting. In a bowl beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, blending well between each addition. Once all powdered sugar has been added and mixture is thick and creamy, add milk and orange extract. Blend well. Spread frosting over cooled bars (do not spoon over warm bars or frosting will melt). Slice and top with a fresh cranberry. Serve immediately or cover until ready to serve.
