Yield Makes 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (not thawed if frozen; 3/4 pound)
1/4 cup water
Confectioners sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Line a 9-inch square baking pan with 2 crisscrossed sheets of foil, leaving an overhang on 2 opposite sides, then butter foil.
  • Blend butter, flour, salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a food processor until mixture begins to clump together. Press into bottom of pan.
  • Bake until pale golden and sides begin to pull away from pan, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While crust is baking, cook cranberries, remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar, and water in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries burst, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Pour cranberries over crust and bake until edge is golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Sift confectioners sugar over top and cool completely in pan on a rack. Lift out of pan using foil overhang and cut into 12 squares, then sift more confectioners sugar over top.

I thought these bars were just okay. The cranberry filling was a bit too runny and the streusel topping was a bit too dry.
