Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 blondies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes light and slightly fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for topping.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 equal squares and serve.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense blondies instead of soft, chewy ones.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
- For extra richness, use high-quality butter and vanilla extract.
- Allow blondies to cool completely before cutting to help them set and maintain their shape.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
- For variations, try adding chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
