Ingredients

  • 170 g (¾ cup) unsalted butter, 1 ½ sticks, room temp
  • 213 g (1 cup) dark brown sugar
  • 80 g (¼ cup) unsulphured molasses
  • 1 egg, room temp
  • 1 egg yolk, room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • 270 g (2 ¼ cup) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon ginger
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 85 g (½ cup) white chocolate for drizzling, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the molasses until fully combined.
  • Then, beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
  • Add in the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients a little on top of the wet ingredients just to make sure the baking soda doesn't stay in one clump.
  • Mix everything on low speed until just combined. Do not over-mix!
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
  • Bake the blondies for 20-25 minutes until set and golden.
  • Remove the blondies from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • If desired, melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 20 second intervals and drizzle over the blondies.
  • Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store these blondies in air-tight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
