Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Oven
- Chef's Knife
- Wooden Spoon
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup browned butter melted and cooled
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. This is a crucial step as it ensures that your Brown Butter Blondies bake evenly. Prepare an 8-inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper or foil, and don't forget to spray it with non-stick cooking spray for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the browned butter and light brown sugar. Stir them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. You'll notice a delightful aroma filling the air as the flavors meld together.
- Add in the large egg and vanilla, stirring until everything is combined. The mixture should take on a lighter color and look creamy.
- Now, it’s time to incorporate the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and kosher salt just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want to maintain that chewy texture!
- Next, stir in the chocolate chips. This is where the magic happens! Ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. You’ll want chocolate in every bite.
- Scoop the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top; this helps achieve an even bake.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 22 to 28 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you want them slightly browned around the edges with a toothpick coming out with moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes. This cooling period is essential for setting the texture just right.
- After cooling, transfer the blondies to the wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice them into squares and serve. Store any leftovers tightly covered to keep them fresh.
Notes
These blondies are best enjoyed fresh but will still be tasty! Store your blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They freeze wonderfully. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. They’ll last for up to three months.
