Click “more” for today’s giveaways and recipe for cranberry white chocolate chunk cookies, inspired by Starbucks’ annual seasonal favourite: Cranberry Bliss Bar.
As soon as I see Starbucks selling their Cranberry Bliss Bars, I know the holidays have started. I don’t really remember the first time I tried a Bliss Bar – although I remember what I was doing when I tried soy nog, another seasonal favourite, for the first time: watching Mickey’s Christmas Carol – but it’s become something of a permanent fixture in my Starbucks holiday treats, along with my favourite salted caramel hot chocolate. (I won’t be covering myself in it anytime soon, though, like Nigella over there. I actually think it would be a bad idea.)
I can still eat a Cranberry Bliss Bar, if I want to, since I’m not gluten intolerant or have celiac disease. (I started to cook and bake gluten-free, among other allergens, when my family changed our diets as part of helping my brother recover from autism, which you can read more about here and also on the FAQ page. The only time I completely skipped eating the seasonal treat was when we were all SCD and I was hardcore.) Though that hasn’t stopped me from playing with the idea of doing my own take on them for some time. I’ve had this idea since I started writing this blog, in fact.
Initially, I was just going to try to recreate the bar but somewhere along the way, the idea struck me to reinterpret it into a cookie. If I were to dress up these cookies in any way, I would do a cream cheese glaze (a nod to the bar’s cream cheese icing); making it a little messy and free form: not too far removed from Jackson Pollock, like Kim Boyce’s iced oatmeal cookies.
The cream cheese glaze should be like what you’d find on a coffee cake or a bundt cake: not too thin to completely slide off and not too thick to make it feel like a frosting. Just in the middle. (I’d use my suggestion for a cream cheese glaze from this recipe as a template.)
If you still want to make a gluten-free version of the Cranberry Bliss Bar and not cookies, check out this recipe and this one. I personally have not made either, but both look promising and the first one looks like a close contender to the real thing in appearance.
Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Inspired by Starbucks’ Cranberry Bliss Bars
The first time I made these cookies, I just used baking powder that resulted in slightly cakey cookies. If you want cookies that spread out a little more, use the baking soda. Baking powder causes things to rise, while baking soda spreads. Although there is only the slightest difference in the crumb, I generally prefer the cakier version.
While I used a combo of cornstarch and tapioca, you can use all cornstarch or all tapioca flour/starch (both names are used interchangeably) if you’re sensitive to corn; it doesn’t make a difference in taste or texture.
Makes 21 cookies
128 grams millet flour
60 grams brown rice flour
60 grams cornstarch
60 grams tapioca starch or tapioca flour (the same thing)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
72 grams (1/3 cup) unsalted butter, softened (it should be room temperature)
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 large or medium eggs
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup (80 grams/3 ounces) white chocolate chips, roughly chopped into chunks
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sift the flours, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
Cream the butter with the honey with a rubber spatula and gently mix in 2 eggs. It won’t fully congeal and there will be lumps of butter, but that’s okay. Add the vanilla extract.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, a little at a time and mixed well after each addition, until it is all used. It will be a thick dough. Add the last 2 eggs, mixing well. The batter should be have a sheen to it.
Gently stir the cranberries and white chocolate chunks into the batter, setting some aside to stud the cookies with if desired. Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion the batter on to the prepared pan. Use about 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter per cookie, spacing about 1 inch apart. Stud the tops of the cookies with extra white chocolate chunks or cranberries, or both. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes (check after the 15-minute mark) or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove cookies from oven and cool completely on the pan. Once they have cooled, only then transfer them to a plate.
Enjoy!

Although I miss my family on these mornings, I treasure being able to create “Home for the Holidays” memories with my girls. (I would love the GF Cupcakes book. I recently borrowed it from the library and LOVE it!)

Home for the holidays means sleeping in! That may not sound very holiday-like, but during the semester I’m always up at ~5am, and during the winter holidays I actually get to sleep in until ~7-8am. Those three extra hours are glorious.
Elana’s recipes are always winners, but I’d be curious to try “Simply…Gluten-Free Desserts” (variety is good, right?)

Is there a substitute for millet flour? I can’t find that anywhere around where I live?
Hi Meaghan, I have never tried substituting millet flour and I’m still exploring the wide variety of gluten-free flours that can be used (I only just started using quinoa flour, for example). However, I would suggest sorghum flour, if you can handle that or find it in your area, or use more rice flour. Good luck!
These look so yummy, and I’ve been trying to find more recipes with millet flour – perfect! I’d love to win the magazine subscription. Home for the holidays to me means being together with my loved ones and focusing on the birth of Christ as the best gift ever. 🙂
Home for the holidays means sunshine and warmth. I am originally from Southern California but have transplanted for the time being to Portland, Oregon. I miss the sun more than anything at this time of year.

Home for the holidays means my husband home from overseas! He is military and isn’t always home for the holidays.. So i learn not to take it for granted when he is home with us! 🙂 These cookies look oh so yummy! I will have to sub millet for another flour since I am allergic! Thank you for the recipe!

Hi! To me “home for the holidays” means being with my sister, baking cookies and listening to the Ray Coniff Singers’ “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” album. (We used to make fun of this album, but now I don’t think it can be Christmas without it!)

Though holidays do mean cookies to me, they also mean favorite dinner dishes, one of which is asian chicken. I think this year I am going to have to try your recipe this year (though the one for orange chicken at growalabama.org is a close second).
Hey Chelle, you could give this recipe a try from The Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free Kitchen that I reviewed yesterday.

I would love Delight Gluten Free Magazine. To me the holidays means spending time with family and friends and get-togethers with familiar foods.
I would love a subscription to Delight magazine, I’ve not seen that one before. Home for the Holidays for me this year means enjoying some relaxing time at home. After traveling a couple states away to see extended family for Thanksgiving, we are spending time at home with our own little family this time. Spiced cider, baking cookies and playing games bring it all together.
I have been wanting to re-create a dairy free /gluten free version of these bars…but the white chocolate is a challenge! I ordered some food grade cocoa butter…but the first batch of white chocolate I made was NASTY…so I am still working on it…those bars are AMAZING!
I would love the magazine subscription! I love Christmas for the yummy foods and warm times spent with my family.
Home for the holidays is relaxing with the family. Would enjoy the Delight subscription!

Home for Christmas means 10 of us at Grandma’s house. The “kids” are 46, 44, 41, 39,14, 13, 12, 9, and 7. We have tons of food and work it off through laughter. Scrabble and Lego games, movies and music, and more gifts Christmas morning than anyone should be blessed with, as Grandma LOVES to shop. Her spiced punch (made with Ryan’s cider this year for us), her all green and crystal tree, her icy Snowman night light in the bathroom, and the hiding spots until Santa’s arrival that we mustn’t touch. Christmas in my child hood home with my children is precious every other year. My alternate Christmas’s at my hubby’s child hood home has more people, more peace, fewer gifts, more food than we can ever eat, and just as much love. I am very blessed.
Home for the holidays means being wherever my kids are this year.
Home for the Holidays. This would have meant being at my grandparents’ house. But since they’ve both passed away, and we live in an area where we can’t leave in the winter without putting our animals and plumbing at risk, it now means making a wonderful experience for our two boys, right here where we belong (we certainly live in a beautiful place, which we chose, and we feel very much at home here). It means we are all together and enjoying each other’s company, which we often forget to do in the business of the day-to-day).
I would love to win Elana’s cookbook, as our family is grain-free.
I subscribed to your blog.
Home for the Holidays means spending time with family! I miss them, and can’t wait to get back to see them all! Alena M.
This is kind of ironic because it is the first holiday I won’t be home with my family! But Christmas to me means baking for others and giving to others, and my family members and I are both doing that even if we aren’t together this year.
Home for the holidays means spending time with family and continuing traditions. I would like to win “gluten free desserts”.
Also I am really impressed that you cook and bake gluten and dairy free by choice, not necessity. Having supportive family members and friends is so important to those of us with special dietary needs. Keep up the great work please!
Well, cooking and baking gluten- and dairy-free is a necessity for my brother. We don’t buy regularly buy gluten-free baked goods, though we buy Udi’s bread for him on occasion. For myself, though, and my other family members, it is by choice. In general I prefer gluten-free and generally dairy-free. Thank you!
I would love to have the subscription to Delight magazine. Home for the Holiday’s means staying home and having my husbands parents come and stay for the day. It’s so much easier for them now because we finally convinced them they needed to move closer to us. We don’t have to worry about them on the road for 2 hours driving home now
I also subscribe to your blog.
The Delight magazine is the gift I would choose.Having both my adult children home for the holidays will make my Christmas!
I would LOVE Elana’s cupcake cookie book! Been wanting that for SO long!
I will have to try these out once I make my dairy free white chocolate that is waiting to be made. This is our first Christmas being gluten free although we have been dairy free for a while longer. The holidays to me is about making sugar cookies and watching my kids decorate them any way they want. They are 2 and 5 so it takes a lot not to get involved but they are so proud of themselves when they are done.
I subscribed to your e-mail also.
Hmm, home for the holidays means being around friends or family and sharing yummy food! This year, it will have to just be friends, since the family is across the country…
GF Desserts would be my top pick, but they all look so good!
Home for the holidays means going to my church for Christmas. I would love either the desert book or the magazine!
for me it means spending time with family, whether few or many are around. also, I’d like the gluten free desserts book!
I would love to win the magazine subscription and home for the holidays means cooking and laughing with the family for a whole month!
I would love to have the Delight magazine. Home for the holidays….reminds me of the long trips we used to take to go to my parents’ home–singing carols all the way!
Home for the holidays actually means being with friends who I can share the warmth and laughter of the holidays with.
I’d LOVE the gluten-free cupcake book so I can make some for friends and share recipes with my friend who LOVES to make cupcakes!
subscribed! And I can actually make these since I have MOST of the ingredients. I would like to try it with coconut oil and dark chocolate instead of white as I am (mostly) dairy free.
Hi Amani, coconut oil would work instead of the butter. Dark chocolate with cranberries would be excellent!
Home for the holidays means being with my family and loved ones 🙂
Love this recipe! For me, home for the holidays means spending quality time with family and friends.
I would love to win any of these prizes, but my first option would be the Simply Gluten Free deserts book. The cupcake book is a close second.

Home for the Holidays to me is so many different things. Dreaming of future children, dreaming of Christmas day, decorating every part of my house from top to bottom in red and gold….

My husband and I usually host my family Christmas party, his cousin’s Christmas party and a friend Christmas party, we also go to his mom’s to celebrate Christmas and we also make a day of decorating her ancient acrylic tree.
To me, “home for the holidays” means getting to spend time with family and dear friends. It doesn’t matter where you are celebrating or what you are doing, what makes a place a “home” is who you are with.

“Home for the Holidays” for us, means getting up early Christmas morning and watching our girls unwrap their gifts by the lit tree….all in the comfort of our pajamas.
Of the giveaways listed, I’d love the Delight GF magazine!

For me, home for the holidays means spending time with all of my family! I would love to win either simply gluten free desserts or gluten free cupcakes!
These look lovely, Zoe! Perfectly inspiring, I will have to experiment to make these vegan also, they sure sound worth the effort!

Thanks for the awesome recipe! This year is the first in 10 years I’ll be “Home for the Holidays,” and able to help make our traditional tamales. I’d sure love to win Carol’s cookbook and flour mix.
Home for the holidays means extra special, festive time together as family, enjoying each other and delicious food. I’m anxious to try these cookies – thank you! I would be most interested in the magazine subscription.
A very festive cookie, indeed. I make a similar version using dried cherries and includes milk chocolate chips, too. AMAZING!!
