Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Mixing
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, then beat until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
For extra chewiness, underbake slightly. To prevent over-spreading, ensure your butter isn't too hot when mixing. Using good quality vanilla extract significantly enhances flavor. Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined. For a gooey center, let them cool down completely.
