Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or walnuts)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks and chopped nuts if using.
- Bake the Blondies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan and transfer them to a cutting board.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Enjoy your classic chewy blondies with a rich, buttery flavor and optional chunks of white chocolate and nuts for added texture and taste!
