Instructions
-
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch non-stick baking pan with cooking spray.
-
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and stir to blend.
-
- In another bowl, whisk the sugars with the butter, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
-
- Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more crumbly than smooth, if needed, add just a drop of water at a time, until it smooths out.
-
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and â…“ cup of cranberries.
-
- Spread the batter onto the baking pan using the back of a measuring cup to smooth evenly.
-
- Bake for about 10 to 14 minutes, until the edges are light brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Don’t overbake. Let it cool completely on the wire rack.
Frosting:
-
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until well-blended.
-
- Frost the bars and sprinkle with remaining cranberries. Drizzle with the melted white chocolate*.
-
- When the chocolate sets, cut into 15 large squares or 5×3 cuts with the knife. Then, cut each square in half diagonally to create triangles.
-
- Serve, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
-
- *To melt the chocolate, place in a microwave safe cup and heat 15 seconds; stir. Another 15 seconds; stir until the chocolate is melted.
