Instructions
Make Cashew Frosting:
- Place the cashews in a bowl or measuring cup and cover with a couple inches of boiling water. Soak 1 hour (or up to overnight). Drain the water and place soaked cashews in a blender along with the rest of the ingredients for the frosting. Blend until completely smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Make Shortbread Cookie Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line a 13” x 9” baking dish with parchment paper.
- Add all of the ingredients for the cranberry shortbread to a mixing bowl and stir well until combined. The dough should be thick and fairly sticky like a regular cookie dough. If it seems overly greasy, add more almond flour or if it seems crumbly, add more melted coconut oil 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough presses together easily. Press mixture into the parchment-lined baking dish, creating an even layer. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until edges are golden-brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely. Once cool, transfer the shortbread to a cutting board by pulling up on the parchment paper.
- Spread most of the cashew frosting over the shortbread crust, reserving some of the frosting for drizzling (if desired). Sprinkle with dried cranberries, and use a spoon to drizzle remaining frosting over the bars. Cut into triangles and serve!
