Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
½ cup granulated white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
12 ounces white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 degrees F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray 9 x 13-inch pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar and white sugar on high speed for 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla and eggs (one at a time), while mixing on low. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, as necessary.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low speed, just until combined.
  • Use the spatula to gently fold in the cranberries and white chocolate chips.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake for exactly 30 minutes, being careful not to overbake the blondies (a toothpick may not come out clean, and that's fine - the bars will continue to cook and set as they cool).
  • Cool blondies on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Friends sometimes ask me to make these for wedding receptions. For a fancier presentation, I cut the bars into triangle shapes and drizzle white chocolate over each one individually. -Erika Busz, Kent, Washington

CRANBERRY-ORANGE BROWNIES



Cranberry-Orange Brownies image

This is the perfect fall brownie! I absolutely love how these come out. The orange blossom water adds a delicate sweetness to the fudgy chocolate, while the cranberries give a surprising tangy flavor. The only problem is these brownies do not last very long--they'll be gone the second you put them on the table!
