Equipment

  • Sauce pot
  • Handheld mixer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber Spatula
  • 8x8 baking dish
  • parchment paper
  • Small plastic baggie
  • Scissor

Ingredients

Blondies

  • 10 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp egg white
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Gingerbread spice
  • 1 heaping tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 2 cups all purpose flour

Blondie Topping

  • ½ cup white chocolate melting chips

Instructions

  • Let's begin by browning our butter. Heat a sauce pot to medium-heat and add butter. Stir consistently for 4-6 minutes or until the butter begins to bubble and thicken. NOTE: You do not want to burn the butter. I provide more tips for achieving the best brown butter in the post above!
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 8x8 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the brown butter to a mixing bowl with brown and white sugar. Beat together.
  • Then, add an egg, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Mix.
  • Fold in all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and gingerbread seasoning. 
  • Pour blondie batter into your prepared baking dish and bake for 15 - 18 minutes or until the blondies have an even gold color.
  • Chill the blondies until they come to room temperature. 
  • While the blondies are baking / chilling, melt the white chocolate melting chips by placing them in a microwave safe bowl and microwaving in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval.
  • Pour the white chocolate into a sandwich baggie and snip off one corner with a scissor. Use to make fun and festive shapes like Christmas trees or snowflakes on a piece of parchment paper. Let your white chocolate shapes chill in the fridge or outside (up & away from animals!).
  • Then, add the white chocolate decorations to the blondies.
  • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

I like to store these in the refrigerator. When chilled, they have the best doughy texture! They'll be good for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Let the blondies cool completely before adding white chocolate or slicing.
You don’t HAVE to brown the butter, but I highly suggest it. It has a much bolder and richer flavor compared to regular butter. Plus, it only takes a few minutes!
