<h1>Dessert shops add cranberries to festive menus, featuring a bake, cookies, and chickpea cranberry brownies for holidays.</h1> Dessert shops are incorporating cranberries into holiday menus to create cranberry-forward bakes and confections for Christmas and New Year. Three recipes exemplify the trend: a Festive Cranberry Bake folding floured cranberries into a flour-sugar-butter-curd batter; Orange Cranberry Cookies made with maida, butter, orange juice and chopped cranberries baked until golden; and Chickpea Cranberry Chocolate Brownies combining blended chickpeas, sweeteners, cocoa, dried cranberries and chocolate chunks, with specified baking temperatures and cooling instructions for serving and storage.
