These cookie bars are heavenly: light and fresh because of the cranberries and the cream cheese frosting isn't too sweet. Hurry up and try them before cranberry season is over!
2 eggs beaten
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. fresh cranberries
1/2 c. chopped almonds (or walnuts)
Beat eggs. Add next 6 ingredients. Mix well.
Stir in cranberries and nuts.
Spread (will be sticky!) into a 9x13 pan.
Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
Cool completely. Cut into 2" squares before adding frosting.
In mixer, combine:
1/2 stick butter
8 oz block cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar (adding to taste)
Fill a zip lock bag with icing and snip the corner. Squeeze icing in a circular motion onto each bar. If in a hurry, just spread with a knife onto bars. I think the swirls of icing look more appetizing, though. :)
Refrigerate until ready to eat.
