Cranberry Orange Cookie Bars

December 16, 2019

You’re going to love these cranberry orange cookie bars. These cookie bars remind of a scone without the fuss of making scones. These are so easy to make – no mixer required, just the ingredients, a bowl and a spoon!

Cranberry Oranges Bars

Oh these delightful “cookie bars” hit the spot. The entire family loved them because of their unique texture. I am calling these a cookie bar but they remind a lot of scone. They’re chewy but also slightly crumbly and they are packed full of orange zest, white chocolate and cranberries.

I decided to bake these in a round pan instead of a square pan. Sometimes it’s nice to switch things up a little. As I mentioned this dessert does not require a mixer – it can simply all be mixed by hand which is so nice. They’re super festive given the red cranberries and they taste amazing because of that fresh orange zest. 

I decided to make a little drizzle to put on top to make them look pretty but they are still amazing without it. If you’re looking for a dessert to bring to cookie exchange or a Christmas party, I would definitely suggest these! 

I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
