Brown Butter White Chocolate Blondies Recipes

BROWNED BUTTER WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. As it starts to heat up, swirl the pan around often. Once it starts to bubble, let it deepen for 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add brown sugar. Stir it for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is nice and glossy and all of the brown sugar is dissolved into the butter.
• Let cool. It can be cooled at room temperature or can be put into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. It needs to be cooled to room temperature before adding the eggs. You don't want scrambled eggs!
• Add eggs and vanilla and stir well.
• Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Before adding white chocolate chips, ensure the dough is chilled enough. You may want to put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before adding white chocolate.
• Stir in white chocolate chips and optional pecans.
• Optional: Line a 8 x 8, 9 x 9, or 9 x 13 pan with foil or parchment paper.
• Pour batter into pan of choice, smoothing top with a spatula.
• Bake until top is shiny and slightly cracked approximately 20-24 minutes.
• Let cool and cut into bars.

BROWN BUTTER BLONDIES

Steps:

• First, brown the butter: Place it in a medium saucepan over low heat to cook. Check it after about 10 minutes; it should be a medium-brown color (not too light, not too burned). Once it reaches that color, take it off the heat and let it cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cooled brown butter and brown sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Fold in the walnuts and white chocolate chips.
• Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake the blondies for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs stuck to it (I like these blondies gooey, so I go with a little less time). Let cool completely on a wire rack, then cut them and wrap individually in plastic wrap so the sides don't dry out. Store in the freezer or at room temperature.
