Blonde Recipe

Blonde Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.

2. 2

   Melt the Butter

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

3. 3

   Mix Sugars and Eggs

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the unbleached all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. 5

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. 6

   Add Nuts and Chocolate Chips

   Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. 7

   Bake the Blondies

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. 8

   Cool and Serve

   Remove the blondies from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
