Equipment
Ingredients
For the Bars
- 3/4 cup butter softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Frosting and Topping
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp orange zest optional for orange flavor
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries chopped
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the softened butter and sugars to a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add an egg and beat for another minute. Add the other egg and vanilla extract and beat for another minute until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix with a soft spatula until just combined, then add the white chocolate chips and cranberries and mix again.
- Spread the batter into a 11x14 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on the edges and firm in the center.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer the uncut bars to a wire rack. Let cool completely, for about an hour. Transfer to the fridge and chill for another 20 minutes before frosting.
- To make the frosting, add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest to a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Cut the cooled bars into large squares, then cut the squares in half diagonally to form the bar shape. Frost with the cream cheese, then sprinkle with the chopped cranberries.
- Combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring each time, until melted.
- Drizzle the white chocolate over the bars. Chill until ready to serve.
