Easter Cadbury Mini Egg Blondies: The Ultimate Spring Dessert

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs (or Lindt Mini Eggs), plus extra for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, pressing it into the edges for easy removal.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Use a stand mixer, hand mixer, or mix by hand.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Fold in dry ingredients: Gently fold in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Add mix-ins: Fold in the milk chocolate chips and Cadbury Mini Eggs. For whole mini eggs, mix by hand; for slightly broken eggs, use a mixer.
  6. Press into the pan: Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it evenly. For thicker blondies, use an 8-inch pan. Press extra mini eggs on top for decoration.
  7. Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center should still be slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  8. Cool and cut: Let the blondies cool completely in the pan. Use a plastic knife or a hot knife (dipped in hot water and wiped dry) to cut into clean squares.

Notes

  • Butter: Use unsalted butter for control over saltiness. If using salted butter, reduce the added salt by ¼ teaspoon.
  • Vanilla Extract: Nielsen-Massey is a great choice for high-quality vanilla flavor.
  • Chocolate Chips: Guittard milk chocolate chips are recommended for their rich flavor.
  • Cutting Blondies: Use a plastic knife or a hot knife for clean, smooth cuts.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
