Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
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 dried cranberries
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease or spray with non-stick spray.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
3. Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries evenly throughout the batter.
7. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool completely in the pan before lifting and slicing into bars.
Notes
For an extra-decorative touch, sprinkle a few white chocolate chips and cranberries on top before baking.
Let the blondies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, even slices.
Use a kitchen scale to measure flour for best results and avoid dense texture.
