These Cranberry Shortbread Bars combine the signature tart burst of fresh cranberries with a soft buttery shortbread base (and topping!) for a sweet and simple bar that’s very hard to walk away from. And while they may look complicated, the truth is that they only require a handful of ingredients and are very, very simple to make – there’s one dough shared between the topping and the base and the filling is essentially effortless.
