BLONDIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
• Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until just combined, then fold in the white chocolate chips. Scoop the batter into the prepared 9x13 pan and spread it around into one even layer.
• Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 28-32 minutes or until the top is set and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into bars.

EASY NO-FAIL BLONDIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176C). Lightly butter and line an 8-inch by 8-inch metal baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. There is just enough batter to cover the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan.
• Melt the butter or, for a toasted flavor, make brown butter (here is our recipe for brown butter).
• Whisk the warm butter into the brown sugar until blended. The mixture will look greasy and gritty.
• When the sugar and butter mixture is warm, not hot, add the egg, vanilla, almond extract (optional), and salt. Stir until smooth and ever so slightly lighter in color.
• Add the flour in two additions, gently folding it into the batter after each addition until you no longer see streaks of flour.
• Stir in the chocolate chips and any additional add-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. It just covers the bottom of the pan. The batter is very thick, so gently pressing the batter into the corners helps.
• Bake the blondies until the edges look dry and the middle looks shiny and slightly underbaked; 20 to 30 minutes. We consistently achieve excellent results when baking these blondies in a 350° F oven for 23 minutes. Ovens vary, and bake time can be affected by the pan you have used. We remove the pan when the top looks shiny and light golden brown. The batter might still look slightly wet if there are cracks, but the middle should not wiggle like jello.
• Cool to room temperature before removing from the pan - this step is essential and helps the blondies set.
• Cut into 16 squares. Don't be surprised if the blondies have not risen much. These are intended to be dense, rich, and a little fudgy.
• Store covered in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. Freeze for up to 3 months.

BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish.
• Put the sugar in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a small skillet or in the microwave in a glass measuring cup. Stir the butter into the sugar until smooth, cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
• Beat the eggs and vanilla into the sugar mixture. Add the flour mixture a bit at a time and mix until a smooth thick batter forms. Fold in the chips, as desired.
• Spoon the batter to the prepared dish and spread to evenly fill the dish. Bake until the blondies are light brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Invert onto a rack and cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.

CLASSIC BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven and prepare baking dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter and flour an 8x8-inch (20 cm x 20 cm) pan.

WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIES

Steps:

• Grease a 21 x 21cm brownie tin with a little butter, then line the base and sides with baking parchment. Place the butter and 100g white chocolate in a bowl, suspended over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir every few mins, until the butter and chocolate have melted. Remove the bowl from the pan and leave to cool for 15 mins. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl, with 1/4 tsp salt.
• Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl. Using an electric hand whisk, beat the mixture until it looks thick and foamy - this will take a few mins. The egg mixture is ready when it leaves a trail from the beaters, which sits on the surface for 2 secs.
• Add the vanilla to the melted chocolate and give it a good stir - don't worry if it has separated. Pour into the whisked eggs and sugar. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together, until most of the buttery streaks have been folded in. Sieve the flour mixture into the bowl and fold together again, add the remaining chocolate chunks and stir until well combined.
• Pour the mixture into your tin, smoothing it into the corners. Bake for 30-35 mins for soft centred blondies (if you prefer a cakey texture, leave for another 5 mins). Check if the blondies are cooked by giving the tin a gentle shake, they should be mostly set but a little bit of a wobble in the centre is fine. Cool completely in the tin - the blondies will sink in the middle as they cool, just like brownies. If you try to remove the blondies too soon, they will be too soft to cut, so be patient. Once cool, cut into 16 squares. The blondies will keep for 5 days in a sealed container.

EASY BLONDIES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and both sugars in a pan over a low heat, adding a pinch of salt if the butter is unsalted. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins - this will stop the eggs from curdling when added. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 23cm square tin or 25 x 20cm baking tin and line with baking parchment.
• Beat the eggs and vanilla into the cooled butter and sugar mixture until well-combined. Sieve in the flour and baking powder, then gently fold until you have a smooth batter. Fold in the white chocolate, then scrape into the prepared tin. Smooth the top and bake for 40-45 mins until the edges are coming away from the sides of the tin, the top has a papery crust and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with a few crumbs, but no liquid batter. The blondies will firm up as they cool.
• Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The blondies will keep in an airtight container for three days.
