Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Pre-Cooking Prep
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in white chocolate chips, then gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
Cooking Method (Times & Temps)
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Doneness or Texture Check
The blondies should be:
-
Set around the edges
-
Slightly soft in the center
-
Light golden on top
Avoid overbaking to keep them chewy and tender.
Resting or Final Touches
Let the blondies cool completely in the pan. Lift out using parchment paper and slice into squares once fully cooled for clean edges.
