Ingredients
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 (10- to 12-ounce) package whole fresh cranberries
Directions
Heat oven to 350. Grease a 9×13 pan and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract with an electric mixer. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and mix until well-blended. Fold in walnuts and cranberries with a spatula or large spoon. Mixture will be very thick.
Spread evenly into prepared pan. Bake for about 40 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Cool slightly before cutting to serve.
Note: Fresh cranberries are easy to find during the holiday season, typically through December. They can also be frozen and thawed for later use. These bars are delicious during the holidays or any time of the year.
