Equipment

  • one 9x13" glass baking dish
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon or rubber spatula
  • 1 heavy duty spoon
  • 1 spreader or table knife to spread icing
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

BLONDIE:

  • 2 cups salted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 15 oz. can pumpkin
  • 6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 12 oz. pkg. white chocolate chips (NOT vanilla chips or premiere white baking chips)

ICING:

  • 1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • ground cinnamon sprinkled over top of icing, if desired

Instructions
 

BLONDIE:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Mix butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, allspice, eggs, vanilla and pumpkin with an electric mixer.
  • Stir in flour and white chocolate chips with a heavy spoon.
  • Spray a 18x26” cookie sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Spoon pumpkin mixture over top.
  • Press down with hands evenly in pan.
  • Bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely.
  • Spread blondies with icing and sprinkle the top with cinnamon for garnish. 

ICING:

  • In a small saucepan heat butter and brown sugar until melted and smooth.
  • Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Stir in half-and-half and vanilla.
  • Beat in powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Spread frosting on blondies.
  • Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

NOTE: If icing hardens, add a teaspoon or two of half-and-half and remix with electric mixer.
 
NOTE: I used two batches of icing for the bars.
 
NOTE:  This recipe requires REAL white chocolate chips, not vanilla chips or premiere white baking chips. Those chips do not have cocoa in the ingredients. In the Dallas Metroplex, I can only locate real white chocolate chips at Kroger (Private Selection), Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods Market.
 
NOTE: Halve recipe for a 9x13” glass baking dish.
