I found this recipe in an old copy of Redbook magazine and knew I had to try it!
The only Blondies I have ever had were sinfully sweet and covered in caramel so this version, with white chocolate chips, salty pistachios, and tart dried cranberries sounded To Die For! I baked a batch to send to Ashton in a care package (in a jar of course!) and to my parents for an early Valentine’s treat …and I saved a couple for me too!
I must say, they are Blissfully Delicious!

Blissful Blondies Dessert Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 stick plus 6 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
  • 1 1/4 cups shelled pistachios chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9X13 baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, mix sugar, brown sugar, butter, and salt until combined.
  • Stir in vanilla, then eggs, one at a time, until combined.
  • Next, stir in flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the bowl.
  • Finally stir in 1 cup of cranberries, 3/4 cup of pistachios, and 1 cup of white chocolate chips.
  • Spread batter into pan and smooth top.
  • Scatter remaining 1/2 cup cranberries and 1/2 cup pistachios.
  • Bake until set but still moist, about 25 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and return to oven for about 1 minute.
  • Cool, cut into bars, and serve warm or room temp.

Notes

Recipe from Redbook magazine.
Mix sugars, butter, and salt until combined.
Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla.
Now add dry ingredients slowly to the bowl: flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
Finally stir in 1 cup cranberries, 3/4 cup pistachios, and 1 cup white chocolate chips.
Spread into a greased baking dish (I also did a few in mason jars to seal and send to Ashton overseas!).
Top with remaining 1/2 cup cranberries and 1/2 cup pistachios.
Bake at 350 degrees until set but still moist, about 25 minutes.
Golden and delicious but one final touch!
 
Sprinkle your remaining 1/2 cup white chocolate chips over the hot Blondie and place back in the oven
 for 1 minute.
Let cool then cut into bars. Serve warm or at room temp.

One bit of these treats and you will agree: they are Blissfully Delicious Blondies!
