These fudgy Almond White Chocolate Blondies are going to make you a believer in white chocolate. The buttery soft goodness will make you forget everything you know about brownies.
It’s easy to crave cookies. What’s not to love? Cookies, though, can be time consuming.
This is where the cookie bar fits perfectly. It’s a cookie, without all the work of making them individually.
What are brownies that are made with white chocolate?
You may call them white chocolate “blondies” instead of white chocolate brownies.
A blondie is typically lighter in color. It’s usually flavored with vanilla instead of cocoa. Sometimes, they’re called “blonde brownies”.
They’re still the same soft, fudgy goodness, but not made with regular milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate, giving blondies a yellow or golden appearance.
Ingredients
I was surprised by the low number of ingredients. When I was putting it together, I kept thinking that I was missing something because there are only 6 ingredients.
I’ve added some slivered almonds to give them a little crunch. I normally use pecans or walnuts in brownies but I wanted to keep with the same light, golden color of blonde brownies.
The best part? You don’t need room temperature butter. I know that part is easy, but honestly, it’s easy to get your butter too warm or too cold. Who needs that on a busy day?
Mix by Hand. No Mixer Necessary.
No wait. The best part? You can stir it by hand. You don’t need a mixer.
It doesn’t get more satisfying that mixing it up in a bowl with a spoon and you’re ready to go.
Parchment Paper
One of the most important things I’ve learned in my research for this website is to use parchment paper when making brownies. The same goes for any cookie bar recipe.
Once baked and cooled about 10 or 15 minutes, you can lift the brownies right out of the pan to a cutting surface.
Pro Tip: If you use parchment paper in the baking pan, you can take the blondies, brownies or cookie bars directly out of the pan to a cutting board to make serving much easier.
No more destroying the first few brownies while trying to get them out of the pan!
Are Blondies supposed to be gooey?
Just like brownies, you want the blondies to be fudgy, gooey and soft.
The goal is to take the baking dish out of the oven when the blondies look done around the edges but maybe a little underdone in the center. While they cool, they will continue cooking.
You don’t want to overbake them. Don’t let the edges get too golden.
