Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 10–14 Golden Oreos, roughly chopped and divided
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for garnish)
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, corn starch, salt, and the finely crumbled Oreo crumbs to combine. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the melted butter with granulated and brown sugars on high speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring good aeration for a soft texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the large egg and egg yolk one at a time, mixing on medium speed after each addition. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly. Stir in vanilla extract on low speed until just blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
- Fold in Oreos and Sprinkles: Using a rubber spatula, fold in about half of the chopped Golden Oreos and the 1/4 cup of rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer and Decorate: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula. Press the remaining chopped Golden Oreos into the top of the batter and sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles over the surface for decoration.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean. Baking time may vary slightly; mine took about 28 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares and serving. This ensures clean cuts and optimal texture.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better emulsion and batter texture.
- Do not overmix after adding dry ingredients to keep blondies soft and chewy.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
- Golden Oreos give a unique flavor; substitute with regular Oreos if preferred, but note change in taste/color.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
