Chocolate Berry Bars Recipes

CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
• Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don't scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and whisk until smooth.
• Add the flour and stir until just combined, don't overmix.
• Stir in the cranberries and chocolate chips.
• Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
• Bake for about 24 to 26 minutes, or until done (I baked 24 minutes because I prefer very soft blondies). A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean (as long as you're not hitting chocolate), or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.
• Allow blondies to cool in pan for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
