3. In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes:

• If using matcha powder, you can adjust to taste depending on how strong you like the green tea flavor.
• For an extra vibrant color, add a few drops of green food coloring to the batter before baking.
• White chocolate chips are essential for this recipe, but feel free to substitute with dark or milk chocolate if desired.

Tips:

• Make sure not to overbake the blondies as they can become dry and crumbly.
• If you're short on time, consider making these blondies in advance and storing them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
