Yummy, golden, chewy cookies filled with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips! To top it off, I added a drizzle of citrus glaze. These White Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are delicious and festive for the holiday season. By melting the butter, there is no need for a stand mixer. The melted butter creates a cookie bar with chewy centers that hold well to milk dunking!
Old Fashioned Rolled Oats – 3 Cups
Gluten-Free Flour Blend – 1 and 1/2 Cups
Light Brown Sugar – 1 Cup
White Sugar – 1/4 Cup
Baking Soda – 1 Teaspoon
Unsalted Butter – 1 and 1/2 Sticks
Eggs – 2
Pure Vanilla Extract – 1 and 1/2 Teaspoons
Salt – 1/2 Teaspoon
Dried Cranberries – 1 Cup
White Chocolate Chips – 1 Cup (I used Guittard)
Citrus Glaze
Orange Juice – 2 Tablespoons
Pure Vanilla Extract – 1/2 Teaspoon
Powdered Sugar – 1 Cup (add more if needed to thicken)
Pre-heat Oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 1. – Melt Butter over low heat in a saucepan and cool to room temperature.
Step 2. -Whisk cooled Butter, Eggs, Sugar, and Vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.
Step 3. –Mix Gluten-Free Oats, Gluten-Free Flour, Salt, and Baking Soda in a large bowl.
Step 4. –Combine Wet and Dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until well blended.
Step 5. – Add White Chocolate Chips and Dried Cranberries. Combine well.
Step 6. Press Cookie Dough into a 9 x 13 buttered prepared pan.
Step 7. Place on middle rack in preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes until light golden brown and the toothpick test comes out clean.
For best results – Do not overbake. Cookies will firm up as they cool. Cool completely before cutting into bars. Run a sharp knife around the outside edge of the pan.
Citrus Glaze Drizzle
Whisk Powdered Sugar, Orange Juice, and Vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the bars. It’s sweet, so use sparingly as desired.
Storage – Store a batch of these cookies in an airtight container for three days on the counter or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Flour Blend – I used Cup 4 Cup Flour Blend, but Bob’s Mill Gluten Free would also work well.
