Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips, divided
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, washed and patted dry
  • ½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 9x13" pan with a parchment paper sling.  
  • Cream butter and brown sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl, then add to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring just until combined.  
  • Stir in the cranberries, 1 cup of the white chocolate, and pecans, then spread into the prepared 9x13" pan.  Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.  Do not overbake.  
  • Cool completely, then cut into individual bars or triangles.  Melt the remaining ½ cup of white chocolate in the microwave in short 20 second bursts, stirring well between each burst of heat until melted.  Transfer to a plastic bag, snip off the corner, and drizzle over the cooled bars.  Let set before serving.
