Description
Delicious cranberry crumble bars made with a sugar cookie crust and filled with tart cranberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 17.5 ounces sugar cookie mix prepackaged, I used Betty Crocker
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup quick oats
- ½ cup butter melted, salted
- 1 large egg beaten
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- 4 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cranberry juice sweetened, orange juice can also be used
- 4 cups cranberries about 12 ounces, fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking oil evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl mix together sugar cookie dough mix, all-purpose flour and quick oats. Add the melted butter and mix with an electric hand mixer. Crack and beat the egg in a small bowl with a fork, then add it to the cookie dough and mix again thoroughly with an electric hand mixer until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press about 3/4 of the dough into the bottom of the pan. Leave the rest of the dough to the side for the topping.
- In a second large bowl, combine white sugar, cornstarch, and cranberry juice (or orange juice) together and stir well by hand with a spatula. Combine cranberries to the sugar mixture and stir until the berries are well coated.
- Spoon cranberry mixture evenly on top of the dough in the baking dish. Crumble the remaining mixture from the dough in your hands and sprinkle evenly across the top of the cranberry layer to form the crumble topping.
- Bake the mixture in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping browns. The filling will be bubbling and the cranberries won’t look whole, they will look jammy. Let the bars cool completely and then slice into small squares. Then enjoy!
Notes
- If using frozen cranberries, ensure they are thawed and drained before use.
- The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
