Chocolate Chip Blondies
Description
The Chocolate Chip Blondies recipe blends all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt with a melted butter and brown sugar mixture, adding eggs and vanilla extract for richness and moisture. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are folded into the batter, giving bursts of chocolate throughout. The batter is spread in a prepared 9x9 pan and baked at 350°F for 35 to 38 minutes, until set in the center. Cooling fully before cutting ensures clean squares.
The finished blondies have a chewy texture with pockets of melted chocolate chips, a balance of sweetness from brown sugar, and a buttery flavor. Optionally sprinkling flakey sea salt on top just after baking creates a contrast that enhances the sweet notes.
These blondies are suitable for dessert or a snack and can be served plain or with ice cream. They store well at room temperature when covered and also freeze well for longer storage.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅔ cup butter melted and cooled, unsalted
- 1 ¾ cups light brown sugar packed
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- sea salt optional, flakey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with foil or parchment and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined. Gradually add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 to 38 minutes. If desired, top immediately with a little flakey sea salt. Remove pan to wire rack and cool completely before cutting.
