Cranberry White Chocolate Crumb Bars
These Cranberry White Chocolate Crumb Bars are a delicious and easy way to use up leftover cranberry sauce. With a sugar cookie mix base and a tart cranberry topping, they are perfect for holiday gatherings or a quick dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 (17.5 ounce) package sugar cookie mix
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup white chocolate melted (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the egg, butter, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of the dough for the topping. Press the remaining dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base.
- Bake the base in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden.
- Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the partially baked cookie base.
- Crumble the reserved dough over the top of the cranberry sauce, creating a crumbly topping.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the bars. Allow the chocolate to set.
- Remove the bars from the pan, slice into squares, and enjoy.
Notes
- Store the cookie bar in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or the refrigerator for up to a week.
- The cookies can be frozen for up to three months. Wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature when you're ready to enjoy them.
