Golden Goddess
There is something so delicious about the chewy caramel flavor of blondies. And don’t forget the white chocolate – our personal favorite.
This Blondie recipe is flavored with brown sugar and is much lighter in color. Other than the color, the flavor is also quite different from a classic brownie – it’s caramel! Which is of course, why we love them so much!
Just like a brownie, this dessert is perfect when paired with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or a dollop of Whipped Cream!
WHY WE LOVE IT:
- An easy bar dessert. This white chocolate blondie is a cookie in bar form, making it just a bit easier!
- The flavor! We LOVE that caramel flavor and of course the addition of white chocolate chips.
- Enjoy in about 30 minutes! Just mix and bake. These are prepped in minutes and ready to eat warm from the oven in no time.

How to Make BlondieS
- PREP. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- BATTER. Melt 1 cup unsalted melted butter in a large bowl and add 1¼ cups packed light brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar. Use a spoon to stir well. Add 2 whole eggs, 1 egg yolk, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2½ cups flour, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Slowly add to the butter mixture. Stir until just combined.
- BAKE. Fold in ⅔ cup white chocolate chips as well as 1 cup walnuts (optional). Press the batter evenly into the pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, or with fudgy crumbs.
- The edges and top will lightly brown. Insert a toothpick into the center. It’s done if the toothpick is clean or has a couple of crumbs.
- COOL. Remove from oven and top this blondie recipe with extra white chocolate chips, if desired, and let cool. Enjoy!

Recipe FAQ
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days at room temperature, in the fridge for up to a week, or wrap with plastic and put in a freezer Ziploc and freeze for up to 3 months.
A couple of questions:
1. Why do you add the cornstarch?
2. Can you use butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips?
The cornstarch just helps create the perfect chewy texture and crust on top. And yes, you can totally switch up the chips. Butterscotch or peanut butter would be delicious!
