Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 ½ cups light or dark brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1 ¼ cups white chocolate chips (divided)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by lightly greasing it and lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter with the brown sugar, granulated sugar, lightly beaten eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine & Fold: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until everything is combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in 1 cup of the white chocolate chips and the chopped nuts, if using, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of white chocolate chips evenly on top for extra sweetness and texture.
- Baking Time: Bake the blondies in the preheated oven for 23 to 27 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating the perfect chewy texture.
- Cool & Slice: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan to set properly. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift them out and slice into 15 bars for serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature eggs to ensure smooth batter mixing.
- Chilling the batter is not necessary but can help achieve cleaner slices.
- Substitute nuts or omit according to dietary preferences or allergies.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- White chocolate chips can be replaced with regular or dark chocolate chips if desired.
