White Chocolate and Nutmeg Bars
Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2
    cups all-purpose flour
  • 2
    teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg or 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1
    teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4
    teaspoon baking soda
  • 2
    cups packed brown sugar
  • 2/3
    cup butter
  • 2
    eggs
  • 2
    teaspoons vanilla
  • 3/4
    cup dried cranberries
  • 1 1/2
    cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
  • 3/4
    cup coarsely chopped white chocolate (3 ounces)
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over pan edges. Lightly coat foil with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a small bowl, combine flour, nutmeg, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until melted and smooth. Cool slightly. Stir in eggs, one at a time, into slightly cooled mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Add flour mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in dried cranberries. Spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle batter with fresh cranberries. Bake in the preheated oven about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove pan from oven. Sprinkle top of bars with white chocolate.

3. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Using the foil, lift the uncut bars out of the pan. Cut into bars. Makes 24 bars.

Easy and delicious. Everyone thought they were made with dried cherries. This one is definitely a keeper!

Delicious, unusual, definitely a winter cookie and they taste even better if you add a handful of white chocolate chips to the actual mix. And I had to use dried cranberries on the top as I didn't have any fresh - still great. A new family favourite
