Using a basic cookie recipe, I revised it to be gluten-free and instead of the soft cake-like texture that Starbucks® Cranberry Bliss Bars have, these have a chewy, cookie-like texture. Also, I reduced the sugar so they're not quite so sweet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter , softened
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups gluten-free flour blend , such as Namaste Perfect Flour Blend™
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 , 8 ounce
- 0.75 cups shredded coconut
- 1 , 16 ounce
- 0.5 cups chopped dried cranberries , or to taste
