Cranberry Pistachio Cookie Bar
A chewy, dense cookie bar that is a little sweet and a little salty - couple of my favorite flavors
Equipment
- 1 9x13 pan
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter melted
- 1¼ cups light brown sugar packed
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups AP-flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups salted pistachios chopped
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350’F - line a 9x13 pan with foil or parchment, spray pan and foil with non-stick spray
- In a stand mixer bowl, beat the melted butter, sugars and honey on medium until fluffy about 3-4 minutes. Scrape as needed. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Beat in the vanilla.
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour and salt. Add them to the wet mixture, beating until combined. Add pistachios and cranberries till combined.
- Press batter into pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes until a wooden toothpick comes out slightly sticky. Let cool completely in the pan.
- Optional drizzle of white chocolate. I took a handful of chips and in a Pyrex measuring cup; melted them in the microwave for about a minute. Then drizzled them on the cooled bars. Slice and enjoy!
