Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dried cranberries
- 100 grams white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and cut them into 12 squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
