Make these Brown Butter Blondies for a wonderfully chewy dessert bar. Sasha brings her intuitive baking style to this recipe, resulting in rich, nutty flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the butter foams, then subsides, and brown bits form at the bottom. The butter will smell nutty. This takes about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. Pour the browned butter into a large, heat-safe mixing bowl. Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should be set, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  10. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out using the parchment overhang and cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Browning the butter is key for the deep, nutty flavor in these bars. Watch it closely so it does not burn.
  • For the chewiest results, be careful not to overbake. A slightly underdone center bakes up perfectly once cooled.
  • You can substitute milk chocolate or chunks for semi-sweet chips.
