Description
These White Chocolate Cranberry Crumb Bars are made using fresh cranberries, white chocolate chips, with a sugar cookie crust and crumble!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1lb. Sugar Cookie Mix
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 4 ½ c. fresh cranberries
- ½ c. sugar
- 1 orange, including half of the peel
- ½ c. white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 Degree. Line an 8X8 square baking pan with aluminum foil and press along the sides. Spray with baking spray.
- In a medium saucepan on medium heat, add the cranberries, sugar, and squeeze the juice from a mid-sized orange into the pan. Peel two large orange peels from the orange and add them to the pot as well. Allow the cranberries to simmer and they will begin to burst open. Stir periodically for 15 minutes the cranberries will become mushy. As you stir, press the cranberries so they aren’t whole. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Remove the orange peels.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar cookie mix, the egg, and a stick of butter. Start off by using a spoon to mix the egg and break up the butter into the mixture. Use your fingers to break the butter into the mixture without turning the mixture into a ball of dough. As you are breaking the butter into the mixture crumble the mixture with your finger to ensure the mixture is crumbly.
- Take half of the sugar cookie mixture and press into the bottom of the baking dish. Use your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes on the medium shelf. The crust should look lightly golden around the edges. Allow cooling, about 15 minutes.
- Pour the cranberry mixture on top of the sugar cookie crust and spread using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top and finally sprinkle the rest of the crumbs from the sugar cookie mix on top of the cranberry mixture and white chocolate chips. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely and cut into squares.
