Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies (or candy canes)
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
  7. If using, stir in the peppermint extract.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the top of the batter.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  12. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your festive treat!

Notes

  • For the best crushed peppermint, place candies in a zip-top bag and hit them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan.
  • If you prefer a stronger peppermint flavor in the blondie itself, you can reduce the vanilla extract slightly and add a touch more peppermint extract.
  • Cooling completely before cutting is key to getting clean, beautiful squares.
