Print Recipe
Servings 12 each

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted plus 2 tablespoons to grease pan
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed orange juice plus zest of 1 orange
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 cup candied ginger
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush 8x8-inch baking with melted butter. Gently press parchment paper, shiny side up, into pan allowing a few inches to hang off the ends.
  • Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
    In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugars.
  • Mix together egg, vanilla, orange juice and zest. Add to butter mixture.
  • Fold in half the flour mixture at a time to prevent lumps. Stir in white chocolate.
  • Spread dough evenly over bottom of the pan. Dot with ginger pieces. Gently push in ginger pieces. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow pan to cool about 10 to 15 minutes before removing blondies with foil intact. Lift foil by overlap "handles" and set on rack to finish cooling. Cut cooled blondies into desired sizes.
