Starbuck's Cranberry Bliss Bars

Alright, well, my mom and I mastered these while in Japan with very limited resources. So if we could do it so can everyone else.




Bars:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup dried cranberries (crasins)
6 oz. white chocolate pieces or chips

Frosting:
4 oz. cream cheese
3 cups powdered sugar
4 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter and brown sugar. Add eggs, mixing between eggs. Add vanilla, ginger, and salt. Mix. Add flour and continue mixing. Add dried cranberries and white chocolate. Spread cookie dough in a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until just barely turning brown. Blend frosting ingredients and spread on bars after they have cooled. Top with more cranberries and white chocolate.

Alright so I made these today and the cookie sheet that I normally cook them on (a little smaller with higher sides) was in the trunk of my car so I attempted to bake them in a 9x13. DONT DO IT! They were too thick so the sides were getting very brown while the middle was still obviously doughy. Oh, and although the sides were pretty dark, it was still soft. So don't worry too much if they are getting brown.
