The Blondie That Will Change Your Life: Soft & Chewy Cookie Butter Blondies

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides, and lightly spray with non-stick spray.
2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and packed light brown sugar. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slightly glossy.
3. 3

   Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk until fully combined. Stir in the creamy cookie butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
4. 4

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crushed speculoos cookies over the top of the batter.
6. 6

   Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (not wet batter). The center may still look slightly soft.
7. 7

   Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Once completely cool, slice into squares and serve.
