Festive red, white, and blue blondies with a buttery vanilla base, colorful sprinkles, and optional chunks of creamy white chocolate. They’re soft, chewy, and perfect for patriotic celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and ever-so-slightly cooled)
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons red, white, and blue sprinkles (divided into 5 tablespoons + 1 tablespoon)
  • 1/2 cup chopped white chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 by 8-inch baking pan with 2 sheets of parchment paper so the parchment hangs over all 4 sides.
  2. Whisk together the warm melted butter, granulated white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean paste.
  3. Add the flour and salt and whisk just until combined, being careful not to over-mix. Stir in 5 tablespoons of the sprinkles and the optional chopped white chocolate.
  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sprinkles over the top.
  5. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the blondies are puffed and light golden around the edges. Do not over-bake.
  6. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper to lift them out, then cut into 12 servings.

Notes

  • Avoid over-mixing the batter after adding the flour to help keep the blondies tender.
  • Do not over-bake; the blondies should be light golden around the edges while remaining soft and chewy inside.
  • For extra decoration, drizzle cooled blondies with melted white chocolate and top with additional red, white, and blue sprinkles.
  • Store cooled blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
