Ingredients
- ¾ cups Salted Butter, Cubed
- 1-½ cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed
- 2 whole Eggs
- ¾ teaspoons Vanilla
- 2-¼ cups All-purpose Flour
- 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder

- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 1 package (8 Oz. Package) Cream Cheese, Softened
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- ½ Tablespoons Grated Orange Or Clementine Peel
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips, Melted
- ½ cups Dried Cranberries, Chopped
Preparation Instructions
In the microwave, melt butter; stir in brown sugar. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and cool to room temperature. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl and gradually add to the butter mixture. Mix in cranberries and white chocolate.
Spread into a parchment paper-lined 13×9 inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 18-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
For the frosting, beat the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and orange or clementine peel until blended. Gradually add half of the melted white chocolate and beat until blended. Frost blondies and sprinkle with cranberries. Drizzle with remaining melted white chocolate. Cut into bars and store in the refrigerator.
