Holiday Cranberry Magic Cookie Bars Food

CRANBERRY MAGIC BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Pour into prepared baking dish and press evenly using a spatula or your hands. Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crumbs.
• With your hands, evenly sprinkle on the cranberries, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut. Use a spatula to gently press the top down.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes. Then, using the parchment, lift the bars from the baking dish and let cool completely before cutting into bars. You can refrigerate the bars to speed up this process.

MAGIC BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a small bowl with your hands (the mixture should hold together when squeezed). Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and press it into the bottom in an even layer, using the bottom of a measuring cup to help. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crumbs, then sprinkle the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans and coconut over the milk.
• Bake until the sides are golden brown and begin to pull away from the dish, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in the dish. Cut into 48 small pieces (they are rich). The cookies can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
• Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for bars together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir in eggs, orange extract, and vanilla extract until well blended. Add flour, baking powder, and ginger; mix until well incorporated and the batter looks like soft cookie dough. Stir in cranberries and white chocolate chips until well mixed. Spread the stiff batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Don't overbake, or your bars will be dry. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix cream cheese and butter for frosting together until light and fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar and orange extract; beat mixture until fluffy and spreadable. Spread evenly over the cooled bars.
• Combine cranberries and orange zest for topping in a food processor and roughly chop. Sprinkle evenly over the frosted bars.
• Mix white chocolate chips and oil together in a glass, microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave until fluid enough to drizzle, 1 minute to 1 minute 15 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds until melted. Use a fork or whisk to drizzle the melted chocolate diagonally across the bars.
• Allow chocolate to set for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares or triangles.
