Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

Add orange zest for a citrus twist that pairs well with cranberries.Use chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added texture.Swap white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.Double the recipe for a 9×13-inch pan and adjust baking time accordingly.Check a few minutes early to avoid overbaking and keep blondies moist.
