Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
- 2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 4 large eggs, room temp
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Peppermint Frosting (see recipe)
- Garnish: crushed soft peppermint candies
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 13×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting excess extend over sides of pan.
-
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter turns golden brown, and has a nutty aroma, 5-10 minutes. Pour into a small bowl, and let cool for 5 minutes.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together sugars, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add browned butter, whisking just until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in extracts. Fold in flour just until combined. Fold in white chocolate chips. Spread batter into prepared pan.
-
Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 40-45 minutes. Let cool completely in pan. Using excess parchment as handles, remove from pan.
-
Spread Peppermint Frosting onto blondie and cut into bars. Garnish with candy.
