I found this recipe in our newspaper way back in October and since the ingredients are staples in my pantry, I decided to give it a try. I served this at our annual holiday party and this is one of those desserts that received a lot of compliments and disappeared fast.
The walnuts and cranberries are a great combination, plus the cranberries add a freshness and festive color to this dessert. I even liked this and I rarely eat sweets!
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in cranberries and walnuts.
- Spread into a parchment lined 9in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into 2 inch bars.
