These taste just as good if not better then the ones from Starbucks at a fraction of the price! These cookies are excellent to make for a cookie exchange, because you can cut them up into small squares, or you can cut them in wedges.
These cookies are layers of deliciousness. First is a layer of a Blondie cookie, sweet and chewy. Then a delicious layer of white chocolate and cranberries. Doesn’t get much better then this, Enjoy!

Ingredients
Cookie Layer
- 3/4 cups butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
- 1 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 6oz white baking chocolate (coarsely chopped)
Frosting
- 8oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
- 6oz white baking chocolate (melted)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (chopped)
Note
If you'd like to add an orange flavor to these bars, add 1 tablespoon grated orange zest to the frosting.
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. | |
| Step 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). | |
| Step 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 overbake). Cool completely on a wire rack. | |
| Step 4 | |
| In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese 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. Cut into bars- square or triangle-shaped. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. | |
