  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  2. Bake to Perfection: Spread the batter into a greased 9×13 baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22–25 minutes.
  3. Whip the Frosting: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Frost and Sprinkle: Once the bars have cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly. Sprinkle chopped cranberries across the top. Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate if desired.
  5. Chill & Slice: Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing into triangles or squares.
