How to Make Orange Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the zest of 2 large oranges.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the cream cheese frosting:
- Beat together 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 3 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the blondies are completely cool, frost them evenly with the cream cheese frosting.
