Dense, chewy blondies loaded with dried cranberries, toasted pecans and chocolate chunks and smothered in chocolate ganache -- These Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Blondies are the perfect holiday bar cookie!
BlondiesPreheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8" pan with tin foil and spray with non stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar and whisk until smooth. Add egg and whisk until combined. Add vanilla, salt, and flours and stir just until combined.
Stir in pecans, cranberries and chocolate chunks until combined. Spread into prepared pan and bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean in the center. Set aside.
GanacheIn a small pot, combine chocolate and milk or cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Spread over blondies and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing (or cut and devour immediately if you dare!).
Notes
* I chose to use 50% whole wheat flour to make these a little healthier, but feel free to use 100% all purpose or whole wheat if that's your desire.
