Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in the dried cranberries.
• Distribute the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting by mixing the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
• Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost with cream cheese icing and enjoy!
