Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Wire rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan, lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mixing
  1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; in another bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, then beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined, and then fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Cooling
  1. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out and cutting into squares.

Notes

For extra chewiness, underbake slightly. To enhance flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough blondies. Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Experiment with different mix-ins like white chocolate, toffee bits, or dried cranberries.
