Cranberry White Chocolate Blondies
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment.
Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk butter and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients: Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
Fold in mix-ins: Add cranberries and white chocolate chips.
Bake: Spread batter evenly into the pan. Bake 20–25 minutes, until golden and set.
Cool & cut: Let cool fully before slicing into squares.
Wine/Cocktail Pairing: Malina’s Winter Mule (a C&C original)
Ingredients:
2 oz vodka (because subtlety is dead, much like Malina’spatience)
½ oz cranberry juice (blood, guilt, and sass, shaken together)
½ oz lime juice (that acidic edge that cuts through her ‘queen mode’)
Top with ginger beer (for the bite — she’s not here to coddle anyone)
Garnish with sugared cranberries or a lime wheel (because even a Cold Queen likes a little sparkle)
Flavor commentary:
This drink is crisp, tart, and packs a kick — the kind of mule that doesn’t just buck you off, it builds a whole damn ice wall around your city while doing it.
