Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter
1½ cups packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, cream softened butter with both sugars until pale and fluffy.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in cranberries and white chocolate chips.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.
Cool completely before cutting into bars.
