Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Butter
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until the butter foams and then turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
Gradually add flour and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 3: Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
