Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. - Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating well until fully incorporated and slightly pale. - Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
Gently stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the blondies tough. - Step 4: Fold in Add-ins
Add the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips to the batter. Fold them in gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the thick dough. - Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let them cool completely in the pan before slicing.
