Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
3/4 cup cranberries (fresh, frozen, or dried)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs.
3. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with both sugars until smooth.
4. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is glossy and combined.
5. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold together just until no dry streaks remain.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and cranberries evenly.
7. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Add extra chips or berries on top if desired.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
9. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
10. Store or serve as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to let the butter cool slightly before mixing to prevent curdling the eggs.
Slight underbaking helps retain the chewy texture—don’t overdo the bake time.
For perfect cuts, chill the blondies for 20–30 minutes before slicing.
