Using a basic cookie recipe, I revised it to be gluten-free and instead of the soft cake-like texture that Starbucksยฎ Cranberry Bliss Bars have, these have a chewy, cookie-like texture. Also, I reduced the sugar so they're not quite so sweet.

- 0.5 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 package white chocolate chips , 8 ounce
- 0.75 cups shredded coconut
- 1 container cream cheese frosting , 16 ounce
- 0.5 cups chopped dried cranberries , or to taste

Lumpia - Filipino Shrimp and Pork Egg Rolls
Lumpia are Filipino-style egg rolls. This recipe stuffs them with pork, shrimp, and veggies. They're small but flavor-packed. Adjust the shrimp to your preference, or omit it entirely. Serve them with sweet and sour dipping sauce. These rolls freeze well โ you can make them ahead.
