Not sure if you’ve ever heard of a little coffee place called Starbucks, but let me tell you… they have this holiday treat that is so yummy!

This cookie is a take on that delicious Cranberry Bliss Bar that Starbucks rolls out every year. We took the flavors from the bars and created a little cookie packed full of flavor. These are a perfect treat for your next cookie exchange, potluck, or even for Santa!

The dough has a great flavor that’s a little sweeter than a typical cookie. The white chocolate chips and craisins balance out the sweetness, perfectly. The cookies are great if you don’t feel like amping them up a little. But we like to amp things up!

Next, you’ll make a tangy white chocolate cream cheese frosting to top the cookie. It is sooo good!

Lastly, drizzle melted white chocolate and sprinkle with chopped up craisins and these are amazing! I think they are a great copycat to the original Starbucks bar.

We hope you give these a try, as they are sure to be a hit at your next gathering! 🙂
