Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two mini loaf pans or a single medium loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling them about 2/3 full.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If using a medium loaf pan instead of mini ones, it may take an additional 5-10 minutes.
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
