Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 225g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (packed, 200g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Place 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until melted, foamy, and golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 8-10 minutes). Immediately transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool slightly.
  2. Mix sugars and eggs: Add 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the browned butter. Whisk until smooth and glossy. Add 2 eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently until just combined.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips and optional nuts if using.
  5. Prepare pan and bake: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour batter evenly into pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden and set but center is slightly underbaked and fudgy.
  6. Cool and slice: Let blondies cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Use parchment overhang to lift out and cut into 12 squares.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to monitor color changes. Stir constantly and remove from heat as soon as nutty aroma appears to avoid burning. Do not overmix batter to keep blondies fudgy. Bake until edges are set but center is slightly underbaked for perfect fudgy texture. Cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Tent foil after 20 minutes if edges brown too quickly.
