Soft, chewy blondies that are extra “blonde” with the addition of white chocolate chips. These white chocolate chip blondies are easy to make, only require a handful of ingredients, and won’t take long to disappear!

I know we’ve all felt this way a lot in the past year but the pandemic is REALLY getting to me lately. It’s cold. There’s nothing new to watch on Netflix. I miss seeing people. I miss going out for drinks. It’s still not safe to dine indoors. It’s not safe to travel. Okay, those last two things are technically allowed, but they really shouldn’t be (just saying.)

As such, my mental health has taken a tumble the past couple of weeks, and motivation has been low. That said, my craving for sweets clearly hasn’t disappeared, so I’ve been all about easy bakes lately.

Enter these quick-to-make white chocolate chip blondies. I LOVE blondies. Almost more than brownies (there, I said it.) I know people feel very strongly about the brownies vs. blondies debate, but like why not both?

How to Make White Chocolate Chip Blondies

This recipe is great because you don’t need any special tools or a Kitchenaid to make it. I added in white chocolate chips because they’re delicious and frankly underrated, but you could also use regular chocolate chips, sprinkles, or M&Ms if you’re feeling crazy. But seriously, I don’t care, live your life.

Basic Ingredients

All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Salt
Butter
Brown sugar
Eggs
Vanilla extract
White chocolate chips–I always like to use Ghirardelli chocolate chips, but if you prefer the cheaper Target brand I won’t judge ya.

Really all you need for this besides the above ingredients are two bowls, a spoon, parchment paper, and a 9×9 pan–and hopefully not an empty stomach or you might eat the whole pan.

Tip: wait for these to cool before cutting.

This recipe was written for high altitude kitchens; if baking below 3,000 feet, increase the baking powder by 1/4 tsp and don’t omit the 2 tbsp of brown sugar.
