WHITE CHOCOLATE-GINGERBREAD BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 17-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Line bottom with parchment cut to fit, and coat parchment. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
• Beat butter and brown and granulated sugars with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs and yolk, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla and molasses. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Stir in white chocolate.
• Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake until edges are golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 2-inch squares or desired shape.

Steps:

• Position oven rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat oven to 350°; butter and flour a 9 inch baking pan; set aside.

• Serve immediately, or let cool completely before covering with plastic wrap for storage at room temperature.
