Blondies From Pioneer Woman Recipes

BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment, leaving an overhang, then butter the parchment.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until combined. Add the vanilla and eggs and stir to combine. Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the walnuts and 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Scatter the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips over the batter.
• Bake until the top is a light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, being careful not to overbake. Let cool on a wire rack. Remove the blondies from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into rectangles, sprinkle with flaky salt and serve.

BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and line a 9-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing a 2-inch overhang. Butter the lining too.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan; add both sugars and whisk until combined and the sugar is melted, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and let cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until combined. Add the flour mixture and whisk until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips, almonds and toffee chips and transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
• Bake until the top cracks slightly and is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist pieces clinging to it, 24 to 27 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely. Remove the bars from the pan using the parchment handles, transfer to a cutting board and cut into 2-inch squares.

CONFETTI BLONDIES

Steps:

• For the blondies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment and cooking spray, allowing the parchment to hang over the sides.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and butter. Whisk in the vanilla and eggs. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour, baking powder and salt. Lastly, fold in the sprinkles.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it to even out the surface. Bake until the blondies are golden brown, 32 to 35 minutes. Set aside to cool completely before icing, about 1 hour.
• For the confetti icing: In a large bowl, mix the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer until just combined. Add the milk and whip until the icing is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
• Spread the icing on the cooled blondies in a thick even layer. Sprinkle the top with as many sprinkles as your heart desires. Refrigerate the baking pan until the icing is firm, at least 1 hour.
• Carefully lift the blondies out of the pan and cut into 2-inch squares.
