Ingredients
- For the blondies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- For the glaze (optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Tip: Make sure your butter isn’t too hot to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, whisking until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and baking powder. Tip: Sifting helps avoid lumps and ensures even distribution of spices.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tip: For fudgier blondies, err on the side of underbaking.
- If using the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled blondies before cutting into squares.
