Blondies Cookies
I’m excited for you to try these Peanut Butter M&M Blondies. These chewy, sweet bars are loaded with white chocolate, peanut butter, and colorful M&M’s — perfect for parties, bake sales, or a cozy night in.
Press the blondie batter into a parchment-lined baking pan.
How to Make Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30–45 seconds until hot. Add 3/4 cup white chocolate chips, let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. If needed, microwave an additional 15–30 seconds to fully melt.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and kosher salt. Stir in 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. Add the eggs, creamy peanut butter, and the melted white chocolate mixture. Stir by hand until the batter is well combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and gently press the mini M&M’s over the top.
- Bake 30–35 minutes until set and cooked through. Allow to cool completely before drizzling with melted chocolate if desired. Cut into squares and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Top with mini M&M’s for a colorful finish; regular M&M’s work too if minis aren’t available.
What Is the Difference Between a Blondie and a Brownie?
Blondies and brownies share similar base ingredients — eggs, flour, sugar, and butter — and both are typically baked into fudgy bars. They often include mix-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or candy. The main difference is flavor and color: brownies have cocoa or melted chocolate, giving them a deep, chocolatey color and flavor, while blondies are lighter in color and rely on brown sugar, vanilla, or white chocolate for their rich, caramel-like taste. Texture-wise, both fall between a cookie and a cake, with many recipes aiming for a chewy, fudgy center.
The Color Differences
When placed side by side, blondies are noticeably lighter than brownies because they lack cocoa. The pale appearance comes from ingredients like brown sugar, white chocolate, and butter.
Ready for the oven.
Tips for Making the Best Blondies
- Melt the butter and stir in the sugar while the butter is still warm, then let the mixture cool before adding eggs. Make sure eggs and other ingredients are at room temperature. Adding cold eggs to warm butter can cause problems, and adding hot butter to eggs can scramble them. For the best texture, mix the batter by hand and avoid overmixing.
