Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams white chocolate chips
- 120 grams dried cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well 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 fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan. Slice them into 12 squares or rectangles and serve.
