These blondies are warm, buttery bar cookies with a tender, cake-like crumb and a caramel-sweet flavor from brown sugar and vanilla, featuring pockets of creamy white chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 and 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate morsels
  • 1 tablespoon white chocolate morsels (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon-sugar filling)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to lift the blondies out later.
  2. Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Use a paddle attachment or a sturdy whisk and scrape the bowl once.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Mix until the batter looks smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Whisking helps remove lumps and distributes the leavening evenly.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the blondies tender.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate morsels.
  7. Press half of the dough into the prepared pan.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar filling; sprinkle evenly over the first layer of dough.
  9. Flatten the remaining dough and layer it over the cinnamon-sugar filling, pressing gently.
  10. Press the additional tablespoon of white chocolate on top and sprinkle with any leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  11. Bake for 32 to 35 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Let cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.

Notes

For a spiced variation, consider using cinnamon-sugar filling.
