Method

Making the Blondie Base

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix sugars

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add eggs and vanilla

    Add the 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Beat until smooth.

  5. 5

    Combine dry ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.

  6. 6

    Mix wet and dry ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    Gently fold in the 1 cup of chopped pecans until evenly distributed.

  8. 8

    Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
