How to Make Cranberry Oatmeal Bar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), placing the rack in the middle position.
- Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Let cool slightly.
- Add ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar to the melted butter. Mix until combined.
- Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup dried cranberries and 2 cups rolled oats. Mix until evenly distributed.
- The dough will be stiff. Spread evenly into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan using a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage. Freezing them individually wrapped in foil and placed in a freezer bag is recommended for easy portioning.
