Blondies Brownie Recipe

The first step of this blondie brownies recipe calls for sifting the dry ingredients together.

To be completely honest I do this about half of the time! 😉  I’ve found that if you’re short on time, a quick whisk works well too.

With your dry ingredients on stand by, it’s time melt your butter.

Sweet creamed salted butter is the only kind I use for baking!  It’s flavor is second to none in my opinion. 

While the butter is melting, whisk together two eggs, and the vanilla extract.

When the butter is all but melted, turn off the burner heat and start to whisk in the brown sugar.

Be sure that your brown sugar is tightly packed.

You don’t need to worry about dissolving the sugar, just make sure it’s well incorporated with the butter as pictured above.

Next up you’ll whisk in your eggs.

You want to make sure the brown sugar and butter mixture is not too hot when you add your eggs.

No one wants scrambled eggs in their blondies.

Finally you’ll finish by whisking in your dry ingredients.

I like to do this in two or three small batches to make sure it is evenly incorporated!

Once all of your ingredients are thoroughly combined.

You’ll transfer your batter to a well greased 9×13 pan.

A glass pan works great, but I especially like my ceramic cast iron for a nice crispy brownie edge.

Last but not least, sprinkle your chocolate chips on top!

Semi sweet (mini) chocolate chips are my favorite to use for this recipe!

The brown sugar bars are SO rich and sweet that the semi-sweet chocolate is the perfect balance for them.

You’ll bake these bars in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

When you pull them out, they will look underdone and puffy in the middle.

It’s normal for them to climb up the sides of the pan a bit, and settle as they cool.

I wait to slice these bars until they are almost completely cool.  

The puffiness will subside, and a nice crust will form on the top and bottom of the bars, while keeping a gooey rich center.

Slice them into small squares, and watch then watch them disappear.

They never last long!

Happy Blondie Brownie Baking

I hope this recipe run down was helpful, and that your blondies turn out to perfection!

It is a pretty fool proof recipe, so a great place to start even if you are new to baking.
