Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (165 grams) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 1/3 cups (290 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170 grams) white chocolate chips
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping and Filling:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal.
- Cream butter and sugars together until light and airy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Gently fold in flour mixture until just combined, then carefully mix in chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Divide the dough into two portions, spreading the first half evenly across the prepared pan’s bottom.
- Generously dust the first layer with cinnamon-sugar mixture, reserving a small amount for final topping.
- Carefully flatten remaining dough pieces and layer them over the cinnamon-sugar coating, creating a top layer.
- Sprinkle reserved cinnamon-sugar and additional chocolate chips across the surface for enhanced flavor and visual appeal.
- Bake in preheated oven for 32-35 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick – it should emerge with minimal moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow blondies to cool completely within the pan for approximately one hour before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Adjust butter temperature by letting it sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, ensuring smooth and even creaming with sugars.
- Use parchment paper overhang as convenient handles for easy removal and clean cutting of blondies.
- Swap chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for flavor variation and personalized twist.
- Reduce sugar by 2-3 tablespoons if prefer less sweetness, maintaining overall texture and moistness of blondies.
