These Cranberry Blondies are like little squares of buttery, chewy goodness with some tartness and creaminess thrown in for good measure. To make these Cranberry Blondies extra special, we browned the butter giving them a toasty, nutty flavor that's really something else. The cranberries are tart and chewy, contrasting the sweetness of the blondie and the creamy, sweet white chocolate. When you bite into one of these Cranberry Blondies, you get a mix of sweet and tart, chewy and creamy, all in one bite. They're the kind of dessert that's just as good with a cup of coffee in the morning as they are for an after-dinner treat.
