WHITE CHOCOLATE CHERRY BLONDIES
This is a takeoff of a Light and Tasty Recipe (Vanilla Chip Cranberry Blondies...I believe they are posted here as well). I am posting to keep note of the changes I made. Note: the egg sub makes these a little bit cake-like, so if you prefer a more dense blondie then you might want to use 2 eggs, or one whole egg and two egg whites.

Steps:
- Grease a 21 x 21cm brownie tin with a little butter, then line the base and sides with baking parchment. Place the butter and 100g white chocolate in a bowl, suspended over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir every few mins, until the butter and chocolate have melted. Remove the bowl from the pan and leave to cool for 15 mins. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl, with 1/4 tsp salt.
- Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl. Using an electric hand whisk, beat the mixture until it looks thick and foamy - this will take a few mins. The egg mixture is ready when it leaves a trail from the beaters, which sits on the surface for 2 secs.
- Add the vanilla to the melted chocolate and give it a good stir - don't worry if it has separated. Pour into the whisked eggs and sugar. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together, until most of the buttery streaks have been folded in. Sieve the flour mixture into the bowl and fold together again, add the remaining chocolate chunks and stir until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into your tin, smoothing it into the corners. Bake for 30-35 mins for soft centred blondies (if you prefer a cakey texture, leave for another 5 mins). Check if the blondies are cooked by giving the tin a gentle shake, they should be mostly set but a little bit of a wobble in the centre is fine. Cool completely in the tin - the blondies will sink in the middle as they cool, just like brownies. If you try to remove the blondies too soon, they will be too soft to cut, so be patient. Once cool, cut into 16 squares. The blondies will keep for 5 days in a sealed container.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the blondies mix together more easily and evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the blondies tough.
- Bake the blondies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them hold together better.
- Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the blondies for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
These white chocolate cherry blondies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are chewy, gooey, and packed with white chocolate and cherries. Whether you are a fan of white chocolate or cherries, or just looking for a new and delicious dessert to try, these blondies are sure to please.
