Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving 2 inches of overhang to use as handles to remove the bars at the end of baking.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. Cream together the butter and light-brown sugar, using a hand mixer, in a separate, large bowl, until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla. Gradually pour in the dry mixture, and beat until the dough looks like coarse, pea-sized lumps. Use your hands to form the dough into a ball, then transfer it to your prepared baking pan and press down evenly to fill the pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- To make the filling: Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, flour, bourbon, vanilla, salt, eggs, pecans, and chocolate chips in a large bowl. Remove the hot half-baked dough from the oven, and spread the filling over the crust. Return the pan to the oven, and bake for another 25 minutes, or until the top is puffed and brown and cracks begin to form (like a pecan-pie topping). Let cool for 45 minutes before slicing into squares.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they may not hold their shape as well.
- If you don't have pecan pieces, you can use chopped walnuts or almonds instead.
- For a sweeter bar, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the filling.
- If you like a more tart bar, add an extra 1/4 cup of lemon juice to the filling.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the bars tough.
- Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Conclusion:
These chewy cranberry pecan bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple butter crust, a sweet and tangy cranberry filling, and a crunchy pecan topping. The bars are baked until golden brown and then cut into squares.
