Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F

  2. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar.

  3. Add eggs, vanilla and ginger and mix.

  4. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients- flour, salt and baking powder and add to the batter.

  5. Mix on low speed to combine.

  6. Stir in cranberries and white chocolate chips and orange zest, if using.

  7. Line a 15x10 baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the dough evenly onto the baking sheet. This will be challenging, wet the spatula to help spread the dough.

  8. Bake 18-20 minutes until golden.

  9. Once baked let it cool completely before adding icing. I like to remove the parchment paper from the baking sheet and cook it on the counter.

  10. Add cream cheese, powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract to a bowl and mix with a hand mixer until everything is combined and creamy - about 2-3 minutes.

  11. Once the baked dough is fully cooled, spread the icing evenly with a spatula.

  12. Then sprinkle the cranberries, add more or less to your preference.

  13. Spread the melted white chocolate with a fork or add it to a ziplock bag and make a tiny hole on the corner and evenly spread the chocolate over the bars.

  14. Let it sit a few hours and cut with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

  15. First cut into squares then diagonally to make triangles.

  16. It’s MUCH easier to cut after it’s been refrigerated.
