Ingredients

For the Blondie Layer:

• ¾ cup salted butter, cubed
• 1½ cups packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

For the Frosting & Topping:

• 1 8 ounce brick of cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
• ½ cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped

Instructions

For the Blondie Layer:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a foil overhang on either side for handles. Spray foil with nonstick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, melt butter for one minute in the microwave; stir in brown sugar. Scrape the butter & sugar into a large bowl and let cool to room temperature. Use an electric mixer to beat in the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Stir in the cranberries and chopped chocolate (the batter will be thick).
3. Spread the blondie batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 18-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not over-bake). Cool completely on a wire rack.

For the Frosting & Topping:

1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, orange zest, and powdered sugar until well-blended. Gradually add half of the melted white chocolate; beat until blended. Frost brownies. Sprinkle with cranberries. Drizzle with remaining melted white chocolate.
2. Use the foil handles to release the bars from the pan. Cut bars into your desired shape; squares or triangles. Store, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
