Equipment
- 8 inch square pan
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter
- ¾ cup (155 grams) light brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup (65 grams) white granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + egg yolk at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon imitation vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (180 grams) all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 7-8 golden Oreos chopped
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Butter, or spray with a nonstick vegetable spray, an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) square baking pan.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl beat the melted butter, white sugar and brown sugar until light and frothy (2-3 minutes).
- Add the egg, egg yolk and the imitation vanilla extract and beat until the mixture is well combined.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt until no streaks of flour remain.Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped Oreos, sprinkles and white chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for about 22 - 25 minutes, or until the top of the bars are dry, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Use rainbow jimmies sprinkles, not nonpareils. Jimmies hold their color and won’t bleed into the batter.
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add the flour. This keeps the blondies soft, chewy, and fudgy in the center.
- For gooier blondies, bake on the lower end of the bake time. The center should look slightly underdone when you pull them out. They will set as they cool.
- Let them cool completely before slicing. This helps the blondies firm up and gives clean, neat squares.
- For clean slices, chill the blondies for 20-30 minutes before cutting.
- If using almond extract, start with ⅛ teaspoon , it’s strong and you only need a touch for that funfetti flavor.
