Cranberry Lemon Blondies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Lemon Blondies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, giving it a light spray of nonstick cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation comes out easily later.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until everything is nicely blended.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, beaten eggs, fresh lemon juice, zesty lemon peel, almond extract, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and inviting.

5. Step 5

   Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix! Fold in half a cup of dried cranberries and a handful of white chocolate chips, adding a delightful burst of flavor.

6. Step 6

   Spread the batter evenly in your prepared baking dish, and for an extra touch, sprinkle the remaining quarter cup of cranberries on top.

7. Step 7

   Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown and the center feels set.

8. Step 8

   Once your blondies are baked to perfection, take them out of the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

9. Step 9

   This is the hardest part—waiting! Once they’re cool, slice them up and get ready to enjoy a sweet treat that’s sure to brighten your day.
