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.

Cool to room temperature. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a smooth batter is formed. If using the chips, stir them into the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake until lightly browned and toothpick inserted in the center come out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool the blondies in the pan slightly before inverting them onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. Cut into 8 squares and serve.
