Ingredients

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 ⅓ cups brown sugar ½ cup butter, melted 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F and lining an 8x8-inch pan with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In a larger bowl, cream the brown sugar and butter until smooth and well combined. Then, add the egg and vanilla, mixing everything together. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges look set and are starting to pull away from the sides. Let it cool on a wire rack for around 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
