My first attempt at making scones yesterday failed miserably. Not only was it unappealing, it was a bit on the dry side. There’s something about baking where you have to knead and/or shape the actual dough that frightens me. I’m sure I will eventually take another stab at it but it won’t be anytime soon.
So this morning, I was back in the kitchen again. I wanted to bake for Hanna, my Massage Therapist who has been working with me on my back pain issues. She has been such a tremendous help that I wanted to thank her. I was so relieved that these blondies turned out so well! After yesterday’s kitchen faux pas, I was a bit worried. So if you’re hankering for something sweet and if you like Oreos (who doesn’t?), you’ll love these!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of dark muscovado sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips
- 1 (8 ounce) bag of mini Oreos
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9″ x 13″-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl whisk together butter and sugar (granulated and dark muscovado). Add eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
Using a stand mixer (or mix by hand) combine flour, baking powder and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until combined, then stir in white chocolate chips.
Scrape the batter into the greased pan. Using your spatula, distribute your batter evenly around the pan. Arrange the mini Oreos over the batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick/tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the blondies to cool completely before cutting into the pan.

Love the presentation! It’s almost like you’re going to a picnic. The blondies look amazing. I wonder if it would work with Nutter Butter minis.
Thanks hon! Nutter Butter would work in these. Happy Friday!
I love the idea of a blondie with a bit of chocolate! So lovely of you to bake for your massage therapist. I had a terribly painful back injury, and I swear I owe my life to my massage and physical therapists.
Thanks! 🙂
Haha, a picnic or…a magic show! I thought Anne borrowed a magician’s cape and magically made these awesome bites of joy appear. They’re so buttery and delicious. Very sinful, but hey it’s Friday!
You’re right! But I think she is magical and has a great natural talent too. Happy Friday to the both of you. 🙂
Thanks my dear. 🙂
I would be afraid to make these, as I totally love Oreos (pretty sure I’d have more than recommended)! Is that a mini milk bottle in your last photo? So cute! Thanks for the baking inspiration today, Anne.
It was difficult not to eat more than one but we managed. 🙂 Yes, it’s an old milk bottle I got a while back with cream in it when I made butter. Thanks Allison for taking the time to comment. 🙂
My littles head back to school this week after an 11-day spring break and I thought this would be a fun surprise for them when they get home from school Monday afternoon. I’m pretty much going to have to buy the Oreos about 5 minutes before I make your recipe! 😉
I hope your family will enjoy them. It was a tasty treat along with some milk! Have a great weekend Allison! 🙂
Lucky Hanna….very creative Anne agaian a nice delicious cake!
Thank you Massi! 🙂
Such an accomplished blondie, it’s hard to believe scones were an issue, although admit I took a few years to perfect them. I make them most Sunday mornings now. Secret is minimal kneading, deep dough and quick use the the cutter – and a very hot oven. Best of luck for next time 🙂 Tracey
Thanks Tracey for the tip. I’ll keep that in mind the next time I attempt another scone recipe. 🙂
Neither do we have Oreo’s here we don’t bake blondies. I love the ingredients without the Oreo’s.
– Loving the lead-in photo! Great DOF. And, doesn’t red go so well with dark browns, greys and black.
Thanks Johnny! Always lovely to hear from you.
Anne do the Oreos still stay a little crunchy or soft with chocolate flavor? My teenage boys are begging to bake these now… See what you have started…. Lol just perfect timing as now they are home on spring break.
I would say it’s somewhere in the middle. Not crunchy or soft. Your boys would love these (if they like Oreos). My husband brought these in to the office and they were gone quick!
yum..just give me a glass of milk and i’d eat a pan of those babies…great use of oreos…lovely post..sarah
Thanks Sarah! Great to hear from you. 🙂
Sorry your scones didn’t turn out, but these oreo blondies sure look great! I love Oreos, so I will need to make them! 🙂
Thanks Nancy! 🙂
Don’t be discouraged! In my latest post, I also mentioned how frightened I got after failing time and time again at making scones. D oes strip off some confidence. The beauty of this blondies should make you feel better, though, right? Very gorgeous dessert. Your massage therapist would be thrilled!
I was so glad these weren’t a fail either. But yes, it does strip off some confidence. Thanks Jayne and thanks for taking the time to comment. 🙂
These looks gorgeous! It will go really well with a glass of milk. And having it outdoors…maybe under a fig tree..:-)
You’re too kind Danny, thank you! 🙂
Anne, I must say, I always like a good blondie! These look delish!
Thank you so much Sheryl!
THese looks delicious. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm.
Thank you!
We’re opposites. I don’t mind the kneading whatsoever but am fearful of any recipe with the warning of “Do not overmix” or, worse yet, “Fold”. Yikes!
Your blondies look like tasty treats and the perfect “thank you” gift for your massage therapist.
How funny! I always thought “do not over mix” or “fold” were the easy ones. Having to knead and shape and deal with rising –*gasp*! I’m just terrified! Thanks John for commenting. Hope you had a lovely weekend. 🙂
I hate it when your confidence is knocked down by a fail. It happens even to the most seasoned cooks. Glad these blondies worked out, I’m sure your therapist was grateful.
Thanks Eva!
My last attempt at scones was also a flop. It’s good to hear that you have ups and downs in the kitchen like the rest of us. Obviously these blondies get a thumbs up though!
These do look yummy and I LOVE the photo styling, especially the milk bottle and straw. Delish 🙂
Thank you Claire! Always a pleasure to hear from you. 🙂 xx
A great recipe with even better pictures and presentation !!
Thank you so much!
Your blondes look terrific…they have to make you totally forget about the scones.
Thanks Karen! It did after I took a bite out of it. 😉
I’ve never heard of mini oreos, these look great!
An easy way to do shape scones is to mix the dough until it just comes together as a ball and then push it into a round cake tin. Pop it out of the tin and cut into wedges. Ta da! Scones.
And who doesn’t love oreos?!
That’s a GREAT idea! I will give that at a try the next time I make it. Thank you!
Waw! These blondies rock my tastebuds,… ooh yeah! x
Thanks for visiting and liking my page, I love this recipe! Will have to give it a try! Also love your photos, very appealing!
Thank you very much!
Wow, these look awesome, Anne! I’ve been on Spring Break this week and catching up. You’ve been busy as ever baking and creating delicious treats!
Thanks Jan! Hope you had a relaxing and fun spring break. Welcome back! 🙂 xo
These look amazing – I may have to buy oreos so I can try them!
I’m sorry to hear about your scones and your back, Anne, but these blondies sure look like a success story! I’ll bet Hanna loved these. 😃
