Hello December...except it's almost over. I'm finally sharing these cranberry oat bars, which I made several weeks ago. Buttery and with tart cranberries, they're pretty holiday-appropriate. I returned from NYC mid-week battling a rather nasty cold, so this will be short.
I'm looking forward to some down time over the next week. Hopefully, I can muster up the energy to make something new. Now it's off to bed before an early tumor board tomorrow...
Warm wishes, and I hope you are enjoying the holidays!

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp all purpose flour
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
