To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, butter, powdered sugar, and salt until crumbly. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberries, granulated sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and baking powder. Add the cranberry mixture to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.
Pour the filling over the baked crust and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown. Let the bars cool completely before slicing and serving.
