Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it and lining with parchment paper.
- Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until golden brown (5-7 minutes). Let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring no lumps.
- In a large bowl, combine cooled browned butter and brown sugar until blended. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and orange zest, stirring until smooth.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then gently fold in dried cranberries and white chocolate.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 18-22 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden.
- Cool bars in the pan for 30 minutes, then lift out using parchment overhang and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Beat together cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, orange juice, and zest until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Spread frosting over cooled bars, covering completely.
- Sprinkle with chopped cranberries and drizzle melted white chocolate on top.
