how to make White Chocolate Blondies
Ingredients :
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 whole eggs
Directions :
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9×9 inch or 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper. It’s best if there is a parchment overhang so you can easily pop the bars out.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
-
In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and almond extract, mixing until combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in two increments. Stir until a thick batter forms. Then, fold in the white chocolate chips evenly.
-
Spread the blondie batter into the prepared pan with a rubber spatula or spoon. If you like, you can top the dough with extra white chocolate chips for added sweetness.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top of the blondies is a light golden brown. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
-
Let the bars cool before transferring them to a wire rack by pulling the parchment paper out. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
how to serve White Chocolate Blondies
These blondies are delicious on their own but can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a special touch. Consider adding a side of fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
how to store White Chocolate Blondies

tips to make White Chocolate Blondies
- Make sure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.

- Experiment with different mix-ins, such as nuts or dried fruit, for added flavor.
variation
You can swap white chocolate chips for milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor. Adding chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, can enhance their texture and taste.
