Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with parchment paper, allowing some excess paper to hang over the sides for easier removal of the blondies later.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the 1/2 cup (110g) butter and 2 cups (460g) white chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them together using a double boiler on the stovetop.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup (200g) sugar and 3 eggs (150g) until well combined and slightly fluffy. Add the 2 tsp (8g) vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually pour the melted butter and white chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture. Stir continuously until well combined.
Gently fold in 1 cup (150g) self-raising flour and 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose white wheat flour until the batter is smooth and no flour pockets remain.
Add 1/2 cup (60g) chopped almonds and 1/3 cup (60g) raisins to the batter. Stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the 1/3 cup (40g) sliced almonds over the top for a festive crunch.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the blondies are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the blondies out of the dish. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve.
These Christmas Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They make a perfect holiday treat or gift for friends and family!
There you have it — the Christmas Blondies! These festive treats are perfect for sharing with family and friends during the holiday season. Their rich, buttery flavor combined with the crunch of almonds and the sweetness of raisins makes them an unforgettable addition to your Christmas dessert table. Enjoy them with a hot cup of cocoa or as a delightful end to your festive meal.

Cooking Tips:
