How to Make Festive Cranberry Coconut Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 15x10 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup dried cranberries, 1 cup quick-cooking oats, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, and 1 cup white chocolate chips.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. While the bars are cooling, prepare the white chocolate drizzle: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt ½ cup white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon milk, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
  11. Once the bars are completely cool, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top and let it set before cutting into bars.
