How to Make Homemade Cranberry Bars

In a mixing bowl, mix together the butter and brown sugar until it is light and fluffy. Next, add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Whisk well. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and salt together.  Add your flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until it forms a crumbly dough.  Divide your dough into thirds, and spray non-stick spray on your 9×13-inch pan.  Spread ⅔ of the dough in the bottom of the 9×13-inch pan. Bake the dough that is in the pan for 25 minutes.  In the remaining dough, fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts.  Take out the dough from the oven when done, and spread an entire bag of cranberries over the dough to the edges.  Put approximately 1-inch pieces of the remaining dough mixture on top of the baked dough and cranberries. Place the pan back into the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes.  Pull the pan out and cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and then continue to bake it for an additional 10 minutes.
