Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar

- 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

Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. 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.
