Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the foam turns golden and the butter emits a nutty aroma. Immediately remove from heat and pour the browned butter into a mixing bowl to prevent burning.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in the packed brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Add the vanilla extract, then beat in the eggs until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Chocolate: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, making sure not to overmix. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed with no visible streaks of flour.
- Bake the Blondies: Spread the batter evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 23 to 27 minutes, or until the top is golden and the blondies are set but still slightly gooey in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool in the pan on a wire rack. Serve warm for gooey delight or at room temperature once fully cooled.
Notes
- Watch the butter closely when browning to avoid burning; remove it at the first sign of a nutty aroma and golden foam.
- For gooier blondies, bake on the shorter end of the time range; for firmer, bake longer.
- Use a toothpick test near the edges—the center may remain slightly gooey if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts can add extra texture and flavor.
