  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 5 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods)

SOUR CREAM ICING:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (1 stick)
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tbsp. 2% milk (or more if needed)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 drops red food coloring
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles or, as desired

Instructions
 

BLONDIES:

  • Cream together butter, canola oil, sugars, water, eggs, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer.
  • Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon until very thoroughly mixed.
  • Spread dough into a 9x13” greased glass baking dish.
  • Bake cookies at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely.
  • Spread icing over top.
  • Sprinkle with sprinkles.
  • Allow icing to set up before cutting.
  • Refrigerate blondies until ready to serve.

SOUR CREAM ICING:

  • Cream butter with sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer.
  • Slowly add powdered sugar and continue mixing.
  • When the ingredients get really thick add a tablespoon or so of the milk.
  • Beat until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.
  • Add 1-2 drops of red food coloring and mix with beater on high for 1 minute.
  • Spread frosting on top of cooled blondies.
  • Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles.
  • Allow icing to set up before storing blondies in the refrigerator.
  • Cut into 24 bars.

Notes

NOTE: This recipe works best with mixing the flour in with a wooden spoon. If you try to use an electric mixer it over-mixes the ingredients and you have to keep adding additional flour to get the right consistency of the dough.
 
NOTE: These bars need to be refrigerated about 2 hours after adding the icing so the icing sets up enough and doesn’t drizzle down the sides when cutting.
