Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  3. Gradually add all-purpose flour and baking powder; mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  4. Gently fold in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown around the edges; a toothpick should come out clean.
