Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar, packed

¼ cup molasses

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp baking powder

¼ 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 the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
  4. In another bowl, combine flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and tap lightly on the counter to level it.
  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. Cool the blondies in the pan for 30 minutes before decorating.
  9. Melt white and/or dark chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Drizzle or spread melted chocolate over the cooled blondies and top with festive sprinkles. Once set, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips into the batter for extra texture.

Swirl in dulce de leche or caramel before baking for added sweetness.

Use unsulphured molasses for the best gingerbread flavor—avoid blackstrap molasses.

Let blondies cool completely before slicing for clean, even squares.

Decorate with colored melted chocolate and festive sprinkles for a holiday touch.
