Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 0.33 cup Dried cranberries (for garnish)
• 0.25 cup White chocolate (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the light brown sugar and granulated sugar, whisking until smooth.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.

Step 7

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bars cool completely in the pan.

Step 8

For the frosting, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until creamy. Add the orange zest and vanilla extract, and mix until incorporated.

Step 9

Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars.

Step 10

Sprinkle with the additional dried cranberries and drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top.

Step 11

Allow the frosting and drizzle to set for about 30 minutes, then slice into bars or triangles. Serve and enjoy!
