1. - Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray mini muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.
2. - Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
3. - Mix together butter, egg, orange zest, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until well combined.
4. - Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until well mixed. Mix in 1/4 cup of the cranberries and the white chocolate chips.
5. - Divide the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling them 3/4 of the way full (a cookie scoop can be helpful for this, though you will use a little less than a full scoop per cup). Tap/jiggle the pan to allow the batter to settle into the cups. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of cranberries evenly over the tops, pressing gently into the batter. Let the batter sit in the cups for 10 minutes before baking.
6. - Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
7. - Remove the blondie bites from the pan to a wire rack immediately and allow to cool completely.
8. - If desired, add to treat bags for holiday gifting and cookie exchanges.
