Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside—soon it will meet its perfect match in the form of a buttery pumpkin mixture.
3. Blend the Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until the blend is smooth and inviting.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to your sugar mixture, mixing until richly smooth. Stir in that golden pumpkin puree for the quintessential fall feel.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually integrate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, paying careful attention not to over-mix. Finally, gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
6. Bake Until Perfect: Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean—it’s hard not to peek beforehand!
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely on a wire rack while the aroma tantalizes everyone in the house. Cut into squares, then dive into this fall masterpiece.
