Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x11 inch pan by lining it with foil, allowing overhang.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, light brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet ingredients until well incorporated.
- Gently fold in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Spread the batter into the pan and bake for 18-22 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the frosting by beating cream cheese and butter until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy.
- Once bars are cool, spread frosting generously on top. Optionally, garnish with more cranberries and white chocolate chips.
- Slice into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes
Let the bars cool completely before frosting for best results. Experiment with different nuts or dried fruits for variations.
