Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams dried cranberries
- 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set it aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs into the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries evenly. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with some moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
Once the blondies are baked, allow them to cool completely in the pan before removing them using the parchment paper overhang.
To make the chocolate glaze, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Spread the chocolate glaze evenly over the cooled blondies. Allow the glaze to set for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or place it in the fridge for quicker setting.
Once the glaze has set, slice the blondies into 12 squares or desired sizes and serve. Enjoy your Chocolate Glazed Cranberry Blondies!
