White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie Bars

These White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie Bars are tender and sweet with a tad bit of tanginess thanks to the cranberries. A perfect after school snack or holiday treat!
Easy Cookie Bars

The yummy base for this sweet treat comes from my friend Christy’s new cookbook… Come Home to Supper. I was tickled pink when she sent it to me and I have to tell you I just adore this cookbook. It is filled with Christy’s wonderful uplifting personality (and stories) along with kitchen tips and recipes that are simply stated and deliciously made.

Come-Home-to-Supper

Anyone that has been to Christy’s blog, Southern Plate, knows that she is passionate about helping readers feed their families by loving on them with great food…

And if you don’t already know, girlfriend can cook. The recipes? They be amazin’.

Come Home to Supper is no exception.

And as an added bonus, besides all of the wonderful recipes, I found myself eating up the ways Christy shows the reader how to add little things to make a meal complete – from 10 minute rolls to a side of simple skillet veggies to easy ways to make pantry staples.

I feel like she has given me an arsenal of quick fixes that encourage me to make meals I am proud to serve my family.

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie Bars

Which brings me back to the White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie Bars I made for dessert the other night. Christy’s Easy Tender Cookie Bars on page 250 were the perfect inspiration for a cookie bar treat with one of my favorite cookie flavors.

You know me… I will grab any chance I can to use my favorite Brownie Pan! And these? Perfection!

I have always been a big fan of white chocolate and dried cranberries together, so I took Christy’s recipe and tweaked it a wee bit and a new family favorite was born!

Christy also offers a lot of variations in her cookbook of how to make these bars your own: M &M Cookie Bars, Oatmeal Raisin Scotchies, Pecan Bars, Oatmeal Cranberry Bars and this festive fall adaptation on her blog that Miss Add would go nuts over (she is a bit candy corn crazy 😉 ). Puddie and I have brainstormed all kinds of flavor combinations and can’t wait to try them out this holiday season.
