Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 1 cup light or dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and parchment paper, creating side overhangs for easy removal.
- Thoroughly combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of leavening agent.
- Blend melted butter with brown and granulated sugars until smooth, creating a rich caramel-like base. Incorporate beaten eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until fully integrated.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, mixing minimally to maintain tender texture. Stop stirring once flour disappears to prevent tough blondies.
- Introduce white chocolate chips and optional nuts into the batter, distributing ingredients evenly for balanced flavor and consistent texture throughout.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan, smoothing surface carefully. Scatter remaining white chocolate chips across the top for enhanced visual appeal and extra sweetness.
- Bake for 23-27 minutes until edges turn golden brown and slightly pull away from pan sides. Test doneness with a toothpick – it should emerge with minimal moist crumbs, indicating perfect moisture level.
- Allow blondies to cool completely in the pan, which helps them set and enables clean, precise cutting of square portions.
Notes
- Customize the texture by adjusting the baking time: shorter for gooey blondies, longer for crisp edges.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain the classic blondie consistency.
- Toast nuts before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a deeper, more complex taste to the blondies.
