By learen

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 2 c sugar
• 3/4 c butter, softened
• 1 t vanilla
• 2 c flour
• 12 oz fresh cranberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color about 5-7 min. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as a leavening agent in this recipe so don't skip this long step. It should form ribbons when you lift beaters out of the bowl. Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined. Add the cranberries and stir to mix throughout.

Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan. Bake 40-45 min or until very lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into brownie size pieces.
