¾cupwhite chocolate chips
½cupdried cranberries

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease generously with butter.
In a large mixing bowl whisk the butter, both sugars, egg, salt, and cinnamon together until smooth
Add the flour, oats, white chocolate chips and cranberries. Stir gently just until combined - the mixture will be thick.
Spoon the batter into the pan and spread out evenly from edge to edge.
Bake 25 minutes until lightly golden around the edges - a toothpick from the center should come out mostly clean with a few wet crumbs - not wet batter - attached.
Cool completely.
Make the icing:
Stir the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and heavy cream a little at a time until smooth and creamy. Add more heavy cream a little at a time until it reaches a soft spreading consistency.
Smear over the bars from edge to edge.
Remove the bars from the pan using the parchment to a cutting board and cut into 12 squares with a large chef's knife.
Store tightly covered in a cool dry place up to 1 week.
