Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Light brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 items Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams White chocolate chips
- 120 grams Dried cranberries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Lightly grease the paper for extra non-stick protection.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquefied. Remove from heat and let the butter cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs in the next step.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until smooth and free of lumps.
Step 4
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and whisk until the mixture is thick, glossy, and well combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could create tough blondies.
Step 7
Fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 28–32 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 10
Remove the pan from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Step 11
Cut into 12 squares or rectangles, and serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar for decoration. Enjoy!
