Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Red and blue sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave until fully liquid but not boiling. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and granulated sugar.
  4. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is smooth and combined. It should feel warm but not hot to the touch.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined.
  8. Fold in the white chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top carefully.
  10. Sprinkle the reserved white chocolate chips and the red and blue sprinkles evenly over the surface.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  12. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before lifting out with the parchment paper overhang.
  13. Cut into squares once completely cool for clean edges.

Notes

Do not rush slicing the bars while warm to avoid them falling apart. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Sift dry ingredients to avoid lumps. Adjust baking time if using a different pan size or material. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months.
