What You’ll Need
- salted butter– For most of my recipes I use salted butter, unsalted works fine too.
- white chocolate chips– Find the white chocolate chips in the baking isle of the grocery store.
- brown sugar– I used light brown sugar for the blondies, dark brown sugar works as well.
- large eggs– For consistency, I use large eggs in all of my cooking and baking.
- pure vanilla extract- Use pure vanilla for best tasting results.
- sour cream– Use full fat sour cream for the recipe.
- all-purpose flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in the blondies.
- baking soda– Baking soda helps the blondies rise during baking.
- kosher salt– Kosher salt is a coarse salt commonly used in cooking and baking. I prefer it over table salt.
- mini chocolate chips– If you can’t find mini chocolate chips, regular are fine too.
- creamy peanut butter– Any favorite brand of peanut butter is fine.
How To Make Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in microwave safe bowl until hot. Stir in ¾ Cup white chips until melted and smooth. In a large bow whisk the eggs and sour cream and vanilla until well combined then add the brown sugar, stirring until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until dough forms.
- Stir in melted white chips/butter mixture then add white and chocolate chips.
- Pour blondie batter into baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Spoon dollops of creamy peanut butter over top of batter then take a knife to run peanut butter through batter, making swirls as you go. Top with more chocolate chips.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through and just starting to turn golden around the edges. Let cool completely before digging in!

Add dry ingredients along with the melted butter/white chocolate chip mixture.
