Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (113.5 g) salted butter, melted and cooled
- ¾ cup (165 g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ tablespoon molasses
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1½ teaspoon powdered ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1¼ cups (175 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (120 g) white chocolate chips
- Cinnamon and sugar, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray and lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Then add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and molasses, stirring until smooth and uniform.
- Stir in the salt, baking powder, powdered ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cornstarch, and all-purpose flour until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Gently incorporate the white chocolate chips into the batter for sweet bursts throughout the blondies.
- Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the surface for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-24 minutes. Keep an eye on the edges—they should turn a golden brown to indicate doneness. Avoid overbaking to keep them moist and chewy.
- Remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares and serving.
