\n Directions\n <\/h2> \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n Bars\n <\/td> <\/tr>
\n Step 1\n <\/td> \n \n \n <\/td> Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Prepare a 10x15 pan by lining it with parchment paper or use a non-stick spray. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and ginger by whisking and set aside.
\r\nMix butter and sugars until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes). Add orange or vanilla extract and then add eggs one at a time. Add the pre-sifted dry mixture, mixing until just combined, but do not over-mix.
\r\nFold or lightly mix in the cranberries and white chocolate chips just until incorporated. Spread batter in the prepared pan and bake 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) for 20-24 minutes or until light brown at the edges. You can also test doneness with a toothpick or skewer & when it comes out clean after inserted to the middle, it is done. Don't over-bake or they will be dry. Let it cool completely. Do not attempt to frost them until the bars are 110% cooled or the frosting will melt.<\/td> <\/tr> \n \n
\n Frosting\n <\/td> <\/tr>
\n Step 2\n <\/td> \n \n \n <\/td> Whip the cheese and butter until they are fluffy. Add the orange extract and powdered sugar and continue to whip until frosting is spreadable (add in 1 tablespoon of milk, if needed). Spread evenly over completely cooled bars.<\/td> <\/tr> \n \n
\n Garnish\n <\/td> <\/tr>
\n Step 3\n <\/td> \n \n \n <\/td> Sprinkle orange zest, then craisins over frosted bars. Combine white chocolate chip and oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the white chocolate chips for 1 minute; stirring every 15 seconds until just melted. Use a fork, whisk, or bottle to drizzle the white chocolate diagonally across the bars. Allow at least an hour for the drizzled white chocolate & frosting to set up before cutting. <\/td> <\/tr> \n
\n Step 4\n <\/td> \n \n \n <\/td> Store in an airtight container for up to a week.<\/td> <\/tr> <\/table> <\/div> <\/div>\n
