How to Make It
Step 1
Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a 3-quart shallow baking pan with aluminum foil with 2 inches of foil extending beyond the edges of the pan. Lightly grease the foil.
Step 2
Stir the flour mixture, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3
Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Reduce the speed to low. Slowly add the flour and beat just until combined. Stir in 1 3/4 cups M&M's.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining M&M's.
Step 6
Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Step 7
Cool the blondies in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Use the foil to remove the blondies from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
