Instructions
Preheat the oven.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the baking pan.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Combine the butter and sugars.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fully combined, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla.
Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
Combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Add most of the dry ingredients.
Add about three-fourths of the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until mostly combined. A few streaks of flour should remain.
Coat the raspberries and white chocolate.
Toss the raspberries and white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate with the remaining dry ingredient mixture.
Fold in the raspberries and white chocolate.
Gently fold the coated raspberries and white chocolate into the batter until no visible streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing to prevent breaking down the raspberries.
Transfer the batter to the pan.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the blondies.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is shiny and crackly, the edges are lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool completely.
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before removing them.
Chill for clean slices.
For cleaner slices, refrigerate the blondies for 2 hours before cutting.
Slice and serve.
Lift the blondies from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 squares. Drizzle with extra melted white chocolate, if desired, before serving.
