Always looking for more recipes for Cranberries !!! Found this one in my Cape Cod cookbook. It is very good ! I only had a 13 1/2 by 9 1/2 inch glass baking pan, sooo they would be thicker in a regular 13x9" pan. Hope you enjoy ~ could try using other fruits, such as blueberries which is what I am going to try next time I make this !

    In a bowl sift together sifted flour, baking powder and salt. (Yes sift the flour before measuring it)

  • 4
    Blend in dry ingredients. Stir in chopped cranberries and nuts. Spread in greased pan.

    Bake 30 minutes. When cool, cut into bars. Do not overbake ( Mine only took 24 minutes) because of the amount of sugar, cookie dough tends to become hard and stick to the pan if overbaked.
