Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup 12 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • ¾ cup packed light-brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups 5-minute oats or old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • Icing:
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • a dash of vanilla
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease generously with butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk the butter, both sugars, egg, salt, and cinnamon together until smooth
  • Add the flour, oats, white chocolate chips and cranberries. Stir gently just until combined - the mixture will be thick.
  • Spoon the batter into the pan and spread out evenly from edge to edge.
  • Bake 25 minutes until lightly golden around the edges - a toothpick from the center should come out mostly clean with a few wet crumbs - not wet batter - attached.
  • Cool completely.

Make the icing:

  • Stir the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and heavy cream a little at a time until smooth and creamy. Add more heavy cream a little at a time until it reaches a soft spreading consistency.
  • Smear over the bars from edge to edge.
  • Remove the bars from the pan using the parchment to a cutting board and cut into 12 squares with a large chef's knife.
  • Store tightly covered in a cool dry place up to 1 week.
