→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour

02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

→ Mix-Ins

09 - 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

03 - In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract; whisk until fully combined.

04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula, mixing until just combined.

05 - Stir in the white chocolate chips and 1/3 cup of the rainbow sprinkles.

06 - Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles over the top.

07 - Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

08 - Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into bars.

# Expert Advice:

01 -

They're impossibly easy to make—no mixer, no fussy techniques, just a bowl and a spatula.
The combination of white chocolate and rainbow sprinkles feels celebratory without being cloying.
They stay soft for days, which means you can make them ahead and actually enjoy your St. Patrick's Day instead of baking all day.

02 -

Melting your butter and letting it cool before adding eggs is non-negotiable—it's the difference between silky batter and scrambled egg bits floating in your mix.
Don't skip cooling the bars completely; warm bars fall apart, and cold bars slice cleanly and hold their shape beautifully.
