Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 cups cranberry sauce

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until lumps are no larger than peas. Stir in beaten egg lightly, allowing flour mixture to stay somewhat crumbly.

Step 3
Sprinkle 1/2 of the flour mixture in an even layer in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pack down into a solid crust. Spread cranberry sauce over crust. Crumble remaining flour mixture over cranberry sauce.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool completely before slicing into 15 bars.

Tips

You can replace up to 1/2 of the flour with whole wheat flour.
