Ingredients

For the Blondies

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

For the Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper to make sure your blondies come out easily after baking. Now you’re ready to start!
  • In a microwavable bowl or a double boiler, combine the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips. Melt them together and mix until smooth and creamy. Once it’s all combined, set the bowl aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the white granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and egg yolk. Keep whisking until the mixture lightens up and turns a few shades paler.
  • Now, it’s time to add the magic! Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice, ground cloves, flour, baking powder, and salt all at once. The batter will be pretty thick at this point, but that’s exactly what we want. It helps keep the blondies dense and chewy.
  • Add that smooth, melted white chocolate and butter mixture into your bowl with the spices and flour. Pour in the vanilla extract too. Fold everything together carefully until there are no streaks of white chocolate left, and everything is well combined.
  • Now, pour the thick batter into your prepared 8x8 pan. Spread it out evenly with a rubber spatula. You can sprinkle a little extra ground cloves on top for an added kick of spice before it goes into the oven.
  • Pop your pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and crinkled. You’ll also want to check with a toothpick – it should come out clean when inserted in the middle.
  • While the blondies are baking, whisk up the vanilla glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, just add a splash more milk until it’s pourable but still thick enough to stick to the blondies.
  • Once the blondies are done, let them cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. This is important – you don’t want to glaze them while they’re too hot. After they’ve cooled enough to handle, remove them from the pan and cut them into squares.
  • Generously drizzle that dreamy vanilla glaze over your blondies. Now it’s time to serve and enjoy the warm, chai-spiced goodness in every bite.
