Easter Cadbury Mini Blondies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
02 - 3/4 cup brown sugar
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch
08 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Chocolate Additions

10 - 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
11 - 1 cup Easter Mini Eggs (Cadbury or Lindt)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 x 8 inch or 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, pressing it firmly into the edges.
02 - Using a stand mixer, hand mixer, or mixing by hand, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 3 minutes until creamy, light, and fluffy.
03 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until fully combined.
04 - Gently fold in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
05 - Fold in the milk chocolate chips and mini eggs by hand. For whole mini eggs, stir gently. If you want the eggs to break slightly, use a mixer.
06 - Press the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan. Optionally, press extra Cadbury Mini Eggs onto the surface for decoration.
07 - Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are light golden. Remove from the oven while the center is still slightly chewy to avoid overbaking.
08 - Allow the blondies to cool completely before cutting into squares. For clean cuts, use a plastic knife or a warm, dampened metal knife.

# Notes:

01 - If using salted butter, reduce the salt in the recipe by 1/4 teaspoon.
02 - Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract is recommended for optimal flavor.
03 - Guittard Milk Chocolate Chips are the preferred brand.
04 - Cadbury or Lindt Mini Eggs are ideal for this recipe.
05 - For whole mini eggs, mix gently by hand to avoid breaking them. A mixer can be used for a more broken appearance.
