Gingerbread Blondies combine the gooey, rich texture of blondies with the warm spices and molasses flavor of gingerbread, making them a festive treat perfect for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup molasses

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

White chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips or bar (melted) – optional, for decoration

Candy color (red and green)

Festive sprinkles – optional, for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Mix in molasses, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Fold dry mixture into wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap pan on the counter to level the surface.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.
  9. Melt white and/or dark chocolate in 20-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Drizzle or spread melted chocolate over cooled blondies. Add festive sprinkles if desired.
  11. Once chocolate sets, slice into squares and serve.
  12. For gingerbread-shaped decorations, pipe melted colored chocolate onto cut pieces and let set.

Notes

  • Use unsulphured molasses for best flavor; avoid blackstrap.
  • Cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Decorations may shift slightly during freezing and thawing.
  • Can be made dairy-free and gluten-free with appropriate substitutions.
