Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips or bar (for melting, optional)
- Candy color (red and green)
- Festive sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
- Melted chocolate in white, brown, and red (about 1 tablespoon each)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Stir in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely before decorating or cutting.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
- Drizzle or spread the melted white chocolate over the cooled blondies. Add sprinkles and candy color to create designs.
- After the chocolate sets, cut the blondies into 9 equal squares for serving.
- Pipe the eyes in brown and the smile in red using melted chocolates. Add sprinkles for buttons and finish with white chocolate squiggles.
- For the dressed version, pipe the eyes and smile, add sprinkles as buttons, and finish with white squiggles.
Notes
- Store blondies in an airtight container for up to a week.
