Holiday Seven Layer Cranberry Walnut Bars

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

A low‑effort, holiday‑inspired twist on classic seven‑layer bars. A buttery Biscoff crumb crust is topped with fresh cranberries, chopped walnuts, crystallized ginger, old‑fashioned oats, a sweetened condensed‑milk glaze, and toasted coconut. The bars are fragrant, tart, chewy, and perfectly sweet for the season.

Critical Success Points

  • Crushing the cookies to a fine crumb consistency
  • Pressing the crust firmly and evenly
  • Baking the crust until fragrant and firm
  • Covering with foil for the first part of the second bake
  • Adding the coconut topping last and baking uncovered until golden

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot baking slab with oven mitts; it retains heat.
  • Melted butter is hot—pour slowly to avoid burns.
