brown sugar

milk

Tablespoons orange juice

pecans

white chocolate chips

Tablespoons dried cranberries, finely chopped

cream cheese

orange juice

vanilla

Tablespoons dried cranberries, minced

Preheat oven to 375F.

In a medium bowl mix together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add milk, orange juice concentrate and the egg, blending well. Mix in dry ingredients, cranberries and nuts.

Using a small cookie scoop, or rounded teaspoonfuls, drop dough onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375F for 10 – 15 minutes, or until done.

Cool on a wire rack.

Cranberry Pecan Drops

Preheat oven to 350F.

Prepare the dough as directed for Cranberry Pecan Drops (above).

Spread the batter in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan and bake at 350F for 30 - 35 minutes, or until done.

Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

After the bars have been baked and cooled, drizzle them lightly with melted white chocolate chips. Scatter 2 Tablespoons of finely chopped dried cranberries on top.

When white chocolate drizzle has set, cut bars into squares or triangles to serve. Makes 24 bars.

(Even easier, if time is short, skip the drizzle and dried cranberries altogether and simply dust the bars with a little powdered sugar just before serving.)

Cranberry Pecan Bars

Prepare the dough as directed for Cranberry Pecan Drops.

Add 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, stirring just until combined.

Spread Orange Cream Cheese Frosting (see below) over cooled Cranberry Pecan Bars. Scatter 2 Tablespoons of finely chopped dried cranberries on top.

When frosting has set, cut bars into squares or triangles to serve. Makes 24 bars.
