Blondies with Chocolate Chips and Pecans
These blondies are a delightful treat, combining brown sugar and chocolate chips for a rich and comforting dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Blondies
- 1 cup brown sugar adds moisture and deep caramel flavor
- 1/4 cup white sugar balances sweetness and texture
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted provides fat for moisture
- 2 large eggs binds ingredients and adds richness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances overall flavor
- 1 cup all-purpose flour forms structure
- 1/4 teaspoon salt balances sweetness
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips adds sweetness and texture
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans optional; introduces crunch and nutty flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and white sugar. Whisk together until well blended.
- Pour in the melted unsalted butter and stir with a spatula until smoothly incorporated.
- Beat in the two large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Once combined, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans, if using.
- Prepare your baking pan with parchment paper or greasing. Pour the blondie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are set and the center looks slightly underbaked, about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the blondies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
For best results, ensure the butter is completely melted, use room temperature eggs, and don't overmix after adding flour. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
