How to Make Tsr Version Of Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars By Todd Wilbur

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in ¾ cup chopped dried cranberries and 1 cup white chocolate chips by hand.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. For the frosting: Beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 3 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or orange juice), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  10. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars.
  11. Sprinkle with ¼ cup chopped dried cranberries.
  12. For the optional icing drizzle: Whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 tablespoon shortening until smooth. Drizzle over the cranberries.
  13. Allow the bars to sit for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before slicing and serving. Slice into triangles or hearts.
