These classic blondies are chewy, buttery bars with a rich brown sugar flavor and a hint of vanilla. Perfectly golden and soft on the inside, they make a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Batter

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups (330g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, mixing until smooth and well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour and salt until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
  3. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the blondies for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This helps them set and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • For added texture, mix in 1 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips with the dry ingredients.
  • Ensure not to overbake to maintain the chewy texture characteristic of blondies.
  • Use light or dark brown sugar depending on your preferred depth of flavor.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
