WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY BLONDIES

Although this recipe comes from Taste of Home Best Holiday Recipes, 2008, it has been tweaked to better suit my preferences -- After all, I LOVE CRANBERRIES! [NOTE of 7 Dec 08: I appreciate chef NurseJaney bringing to my attention (AFTER she'd tried making this recipe) that there MIGHT be an error in an ingredient amount! Sure enough, instead of the correct 2 1/4 cups of flour, I'd inadvertantly stated it as 1 1/4 cups! My sincere apologies!]
