Ingredients Notes

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted: Provides richness and helps create a fudgy texture.
• 1 cup brown sugar: Adds moistness and a hint of caramel flavor.
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar: Balances the sweetness for the perfect treat.
• 2 large eggs: Acts as a binder while adding protein.
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract: Infuses the blondies with warm, inviting flavors.
• 2 cups all-purpose flour: Forms the base for a deliciously chewy texture.
• 1 teaspoon baking powder: Helps these treats rise beautifully.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt: Enhances the overall sweetness.
• 1 cup Christmas sprinkles: Adds a festive flair and joy to each bite.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Don’t worry if it looks messy here; that’s part of the charm!
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.
6. Fold in the Christmas sprinkles, making them evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly, ensuring every inch is covered.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow to cool before slicing into squares.

Rose’s Tips for Success

• For an extra chewy texture, try letting the batter sit for a few minutes before baking. This helps the flour absorb moisture.
• If you want to switch things up, consider adding nuts or a mix of chocolates along with the sprinkles for added texture and flavor.
• Make sure your butter is fully melted but not too hot when combining with the sugars to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.

Serving & Storage

These festive blondies are wonderful served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh berries on the side. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to three months—just layer them between parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use a different type of flour? Yes, you can swap in whole wheat flour for added fiber, but it may change the texture slightly.
• What can I do if my blondies are too dry? Make sure you’re measuring your flour correctly. Over-measuring can lead to dry blondies.
• How can I make these gluten-free? Substituting a gluten-free flour blend can work, just ensure it includes a binding agent like xanthan gum.
