Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 300 grams Light brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 210 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams White chocolate chips (optional)
- 100 grams Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once fully melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using, fold in the white chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out and transfer to a cutting board.
Slice into 12 squares or desired portions and serve. Enjoy your Classic Blondies!
