Ingredients

For Blondies:

  • 2 sticks (226 grams) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (213 grams) brown sugar
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

For Blondies:

  • Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan. The butter will start to foam and you will see orangy brown bits form at the bottom of the pan. This will take about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the brown butter into a medium bowl and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. If you don’t allow the butter to cool it will melt the chocolate chips.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray an 8×8 pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour and salt. Whisk to remove any lumps.
  • In a small bowl combine the eggs and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
  • Add both of the sugars to the brown butter and mix until fully combined. Add the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until most of the flour is combined. Fold in the chocolate chips
  • Spread the dough into the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The top should be crispy and starting to form little cracks, the center should no longer be jiggly.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the blondies to cool completely before removing from pan.

Notes

  • Add chunks of chocolate on top before baking. This will give you those incredible puddles of chocolate on top of the brown butter blondies.
  • Don't overmix. You need to mix your batter until all of the ingredients are JUST combined, otherwise, you will make too much gluten and your blondies will be cakey instead of fudgy.
