How to Make Festive Cranberry Coconut Bars
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 15x10 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
- 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.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup dried cranberries, 1 cup quick-cooking oats, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, and 1 cup white chocolate chips.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- 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.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- 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.
- Once the bars are completely cool, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top and let it set before cutting into bars.
