Ingredients
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled to room temperature, unsalted
Filling
- 1 (14-ounce) cranberry sauce smooth or whole berries, canned
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with parchment leaving a 1-inch overhang on two sides and then spraying the parchment with pan spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir in ½ cup unsalted butter and mix until combined. You may need to use a hand mixer or clean hands to fully combine the ingredients.
- Press about ⅔-½ of the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan for the crust.
- Create the filling by mashing 1 (14-ounce) canned cranberry sauce, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice together. Add the filling to the pan on top of the crust. You can use all of the filling or about ½-⅔ of it. The more filling you use, the more jammy the center of the bars will be.
- Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the top of the filling and bake for 22-25 minutes, until the top crust is just beginning to turn a light golden brown. Let cool for 45-60 minutes before lifting out from the pan and cutting into bars. Cut 3x3 for 9 bars or 4x4 for 12 smaller bars.
