- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
Stir in chocolate chips and optional nuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
