Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 tbsp
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted (2 sticks)
- 1 ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs room temp
- 2 tsp vanilla paste or extract
- 9 oz Rolo candies unwrapped and cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8" square baking dish with parchment paper so it overhangs the edges by 2 inches. This will make it easy to lift them out of the pan later, but is not necessary.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt together. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the light brown sugar and melted butter together. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisk well to combine.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring well to combine. Fold in the halved Rolo candy.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until center is almost set.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Lift the blondies out of the pan using the parchment overhand. Slice into bars, and serve.
Blondies will continue to firm up as they cool so don't overcook them.
Notes
Tips for Storing
- Store cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Layer parchment between rows to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate during warm months since the Rolo filling can get melty at room temperature. Bring to room temp before serving for the best texture.
- Freeze for up to 2 months. Wrap individual bars in plastic wrap, then place in a zip freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature for about an hour.
- Let bars cool completely before covering or stacking. Trapping steam turns the tops sticky and soft in a bad way.
- For gifting or transporting, cut into bars and place in a single layer in a shallow tin or container lined with parchment.
