WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP GINGERBREAD BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter an 8"x8" baking dish or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
• Add the butter to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power in 20-second increments until melted. Remove from microwave and whisk in the brown sugar and molasses, then add the egg, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix well.
• Sift the flour and baking soda over the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined. Stir in 1 cup white chocolate chips.
• Pour batter into baking dish. Using an offset spatula or your fingers, press and spread the batter evenly into the pan. The batter will be very stiff.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, until dark golden brown, set in the middle, and the edges appear dry.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for 60 minutes. They will sink a bit as they cool.
• Before cutting, drizzle with more white chocolate. Place 1/2 cup white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 15-second increments, stirring after every 15 second zap, just until chips are melted, about 1 minute. If the chocolate seizes, stir in a 1/2 teaspoon or so of coconut oil or vegetable oil to help loosen it up and get it to a drizzle-able consistency. Use a spoon to drizzle the white chocolate over the blondies in the pan. Allow white chocolate to harden, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Cut into squares and serve.
• Blondies keep for several days at room temperature in an airtight container or zipper bag. They freeze amazingly, too! To freeze, cool completely on a wire rack. Place in a single layer in airtight plastic containers or large freezer bag and transfer to the freezer. To thaw, return to room temperature; they should thaw within an hour or two.
