Description
Chewy White Chocolate Cranberry Blondies are buttery dessert bars filled with tangy dried cranberries and creamy white chocolate chips. These golden blondies are soft in the center with crisp edges—perfect for holidays or anytime snacking!
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
6. Fold in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips with a spatula.
7. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Press extra white chocolate chips on top if desired.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool completely in the pan. Use parchment to lift blondies out and slice into squares.
Notes
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the blondies chewy.
Press extra white chocolate chips on top before baking for a pretty finish.
