This cranberry-studded treat is low in fat but high in flavor. Because it freezes so well I always double the recipe. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened |
2/4 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 egg white |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup reduced fat granola |
2/3 cup dried cranberries |
Directions:
1. In a small mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, egg white and extract.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture. Break apart any large pieces of granola; stir granola and cranberries into dough.
3. Divide dough into half. With lightly floured hands, shape each portion into a 12 in x 1 1/2 in rectangle; place each on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
4. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove to wire rack and cool for 5 minutes.
5. Transfer to a cutting board; cut with a serrated knife into 3/4 in. slices. Place cut side down on uncreased baking sheets.
6. Bake for 5 minutes. Turn and bake for 5-7 minutes longer or until firm. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in airtight container or freeze.
7. Note: I like to put some extra raisins and whatnot in in mine, sometimes.
