Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans work great)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the sweet and chewy chocolate chip blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes.
- Lift them out of the pan using the parchment overhang and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once completely cool, cut the chewy chocolate chip blondies into squares or rectangles and serve.
Notes
- For a different flavor profile, try milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips.
- Adding chopped walnuts or pecans provides a nice crunch.
- A sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can enhance the sweetness.
- To ensure a chewy texture, avoid overmixing the batter.
- Cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
