- parchment paper
3/4 C melted butter
2 eggs
4 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 C flour
1 1/2 C light brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Line 13x9 baking pan with parchment paper, extending up over ends of pan. In large bowl, stir by hand butter, eggs and vanilla until thoroughly combined. In small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt; stir into butter mixture until thoroughly combined. Add chips and pecans, stirring to combine. Spread evenly into prepared pan; bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until top is shiny, cracked and light golden brown (25-30 minutes). Cool in pan; lift bars out of pan with ends of parchment paper. Frost with cream cheese frosting; garnish with cranberries. Cut into bars.
Cream Cheese Frosting
In a medium bowl, beat 3oz. softened cream cheese, 2 T softened butter, 1 tsp. milk and 1/2 tsp. vanilla with electric mixer on low speed until creamy. Gradually beat in 2 C powdered sugar on low speed until smooth and spreadable.
Chef Note: I think I will replace the pecans with sliced or chopped almonds next time. Feel free to play with this a bit to make it your own!
