  • 1 Cup Butter, Very Soft
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 Cup Sugar
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Ground Ginger
  • 3/4 Cup Craisins
  • 1 Cup Lindt White Chocolate, Coarsely Chopped
  • Frosting:
  • 4 Ounces Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • 3 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Glaze:
  • 1 ( 10 Ounce) Bag White Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Tablespoon White Crisco
  • Topping:
  • 1/3 Cup Craisins, Coarsely Chopped
  • 1 Cup Lindt White Chocolate, Coarsely Chopped

 Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 10x15 by lining it with aluminum foil with 2 inches extending over each end. Spray with non-stick spray.
MAKE BARS: With an electric mixer, beat together softened butter and sugars 3-5 minutes until light; blend in eggs and vanilla extract until just combined. Add the flour, baking powder, and ginger and beat briefly. Add the cranberries and chopped white chocolate, stirring just until incorporated.
Spread thick batter in prepared 10x15 pan. Bake 350 for 20-24 minutes until light brown at edges and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Don't overbake or your bars will be dry. Let it cool completely.
MAKE FROSTING: Blend cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and beat until frosting is fluffy and spreadable (adding 1 t. milk if needed). Spread evenly over COOLED bars.
PREPARE GARNISH: Use a zester to remove rind from an orange; sprinkle zest over frosted bars. Chop 1/3 cup Craisins coarsely; sprinkle over frosted bars.
MAKE DRIZZLE: Pour white chocolate in a bowl set over simmering water. When chocolate is melted, add Crisco and stir until completely combined. If chocolate isn't thin enough add more Crisco, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach desired consistency. Use a fork or whisk to drizzle the white chocolate diagonally across the bars.
Allow one hour for the white chocolate to set before cutting. **To make signature Starbuck triangles, cut into 20 large squares (5 cuts by 4 cuts with the knife). Then cut each square in half diagonally to create triangles. Use a fork or whisk to drizzle the white chocolate diagonally across the bars.
