I was craving some blondies (which happens about once a week, let’s be honest) but I wanted to put a little holiday twist on it. I ran to the store to pick up some dried cranberries and white chocolate (that’s Christmas-y, right?). I was so excited for these, so I was HEARTBROKEN when I got to the store and they were COMPLETELY out of cranberries. Of the fresh variety, frozen variety, dried variety…every brand and every kind. I could have cried, but I was not about to give up on these Christmas blondies! After checking another two stores, I was able to find a package of very mashed craisins stashed on a random shelf. And if you’re wondering, it was totally worth the hunt! 😉

I might have to try these using GF one to one flour and add some orange zest. I love dried cranberries and orange zest together.

Thank you Steph.

I just made the white chocolate cranberry blondes. They are absolutely wonderful! I used the callebaut white chocolate chunks. I really enjoy your recipes! This is a definite keeper! Thank you Linda

These are fantastic! I had a recipe for blondies like these years ago, but managed to misplace it. Thank you so much for sharing these!

Made these and loved them, but I'm wondering about the pan size... I couldn't spread them out enough to cover a 9x13 pan, so I made a second recipe, added it to the pan, and baked it for 19 minutes. They were amazing!

I have made these twice. The first time, I used a 9x13 pan. They were fine. The second time, I used a 9x9 pan and they turned out thicker and better. They turned out so well that I am going to make them a second time in one week, BUT I am going to add the zest of one orange and 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios. This recipe is a definite keeper!
