These white chocolate cranberry bars are soft and chewy with tart dried cranberries and creamy white chocolate in every bite. An easy one-pan cookie bar that's perfect for holiday baking, cookie trays, and gifting.
Oven and Pan - Preheat the oven to 350°F / 177°C / Gas Mark 4. Line a 9 x 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to help pick it out of the pan later.
Dry ingredients - Combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
280 g All purpose flour, 2 tbsp Cornstarch, 1 tsp Baking soda, ¼ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice
Wet ingredients - In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, on medium speed, cream together the butter with both brown and white sugar until light and fluffy. Then add the eggs one at a time to the creamed sugar mixture, then add the vanilla extract. Next, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, but do not overmix.
170 g Unsalted Butter, 2 large Eggs, 100 g White sugar, 110 g Light Brown sugar, 2 tsp Vanilla extract
Additions - Next, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, but do not overmix. Finally, add the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
125 g White chocolate chips, 100 g Dried cranberry
Pan - Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and spread with an offset spatula. Sprinkle some more dried cranberries and white chocolate on top.
Bake for 22–28 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center looks set but still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Cool completely in the pan for at least 20 minutes before lifting out and slicing. Use a sharp bread knife cut into 16 squares (as shown in the video).
