Why Brownie Cookie Blondies?
Blondies have a rich history as the “blonde” version of brownies, but adding cookie-like chewiness and chocolate chips takes them to a whole new dimension. Here’s why this recipe stands out:
- Fudgy yet chewy: A perfect balance of brownie density and cookie softness.
- Loaded with chocolate chips: For melty pockets of chocolate in every bite.
- Simple ingredients: Pantry staples come together with ease.
- Versatile: Serve warm with ice cream or cool and slice for lunchbox treats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prep and Mix
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined—avoid overmixing.
Step 3: Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly through the batter.
Step 4: Bake
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow blondies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve. For an extra treat, warm a blondie and top with vanilla ice cream or drizzle with caramel sauce.
Tips for Perfect Blondies
- Use room temperature eggs for easier mixing.
- Don’t overbake—blondies should be soft and slightly fudgy in the center.
- Customize by adding nuts, white chocolate chips, or butterscotch bits.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee.
- Cut into bite-sized pieces for party platters or dessert bars.
- Use as a base for layered desserts or brownie trifles.
