Instructions
 

For the Bars:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, ginger and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Mix together the melted butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until blended. Then, add in the eggs, orange extract, and vanilla extract.
  • Add in the sifted flour mixture and beat until just blended. Don't overmix.
  • Stir in the white chocolate chips and craisins by hand. Then, pour evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake until golden brown. 30-40 minutes. I baked mine around 35 minutes before it was done.
  • Let bars cool completely on wire rack before frosting.

For the Frosting:

  • Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add in the vanilla and orange extract, mixing well.
  • Spread frosting on top of cooled bars. And top with chopped craisins and orange zest.
  • Melt white baking chocolate in microwave per instructions on package. Drizzle white chocolate on top of the bars. I used a fork to drizzle it all around.
  • Place in the refrigerator for one hour before cutting.
  • Cut into triangles and enjoy!
