Christmas Blondies

I find blondies are way better and easier to make because I suck at cookies and they are essentially the same but I don’t have to worry about them keeping their shape. WINNING! We made 2 different blondies with the same base ingredients and only added in extras at the end!

Base Ingredients

  • 2 Cups of Flour

  • 1 Cup Margarine, softened

  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar

  • 2/3 Cup White Sugar

  • 2 Large Eggs

  • 2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

  • 1/2 Tsp. Salt

  • Cooking Spray

Option #1: White Choco Cran Blondies Extra Ingredients

  • 2/3 Cup White Choco Chips

  • 2/3 Cup Dried Cranberries

Option #2: Peanut M&M Blondies Extra Ingredients

  • 1 Cup M&M’s

  • 1/3-2/3 Cup White Choco Chips

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F degrees. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the sugars and the margarine. Mix until well combined.

  • Whisk in egg and vanilla. Lastly, add in the flour and salt and mix until just combined.

  • If you are making the white choco/cran - fold in 1/2 of the white choco chips and 1/2 the cranberries using a spatula.

  • If you are making the m&m - fold in 1/2 of the m&m’s and the choco chips using a spatula.

  • Lightly spray a 9x13 pan and transfer the mixture. Make sure it is smooth and even then sprinkle the remaning toppings on the top.

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until top/edges are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool then cut into squares and serve.

MAKE IT EASY - Double the base recipe and make a large batch of dough mixture and split into equal portions to do more than 1 flavor/style.

MAKE IT EXTRA - Add Macadamia nuts or other dried berries to the white choco cranberry blondies.
