Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture while mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in orange zest and juice.
- Let the bars cool for about 15 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- If desired, melt extra white chocolate for drizzling over frosted bars. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes
For best results, measure flour correctly and avoid over-mixing to keep bars tender. Allow bars to cool in the pan before transferring.
