Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies
Servings 16
These are the richest, chewy, most decadent chocolate chip blondies! They're made with browned butter, which gives them a nutty, butterscotch flavor.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated cane sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Browned Butter
- Cut the butter into slices to ensure that it melts evenly. Place the slices in a single layer in a heavy-bottomed skillet on medium heat.
- Melt the butter, stirring frequently. It will begin to sputter and crackle. Continue stirring continuously to prevent burning. After a while, the crackling will subside and butter will begin to foam. At this point, keep a close eye on the butter while continuing to stir. Be on the lookout for brown flecks and a nutty aroma.
- Once you see brown flecks and the melted butter turns a rich amber color, immediately remove it from heat and pour the butter into a separate, heatproof bowl. Let the butter cool down before using.
Blondies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Spray it with nonstick spray, and then take a wide strip of parchment paper (you'll need to cut it to fit into the pan) and lay it across the bottom and up the sides, leaving a 1-2 inch overhang to help lift the blondies out.
- Beat the browned butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix together until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to your baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until blondies are golden brown along the edges and set.
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting. Happy baking and enjoy!
