Description
Delicious thick and chewy blondie bars made with brown-butter and white chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g all-purpose flour (2 cups)
- 170 g unsalted butter (3/4 cup; 1 1/2 sticks)
- 200 g light brown sugar (1 cup, packed)
- 75 g granulated sugar (1/3 cup)
- 2 large eggs (about 100 g without shell)
- 10 ml pure vanilla extract (2 tsp)
- 3 g baking powder (1/2 tsp)
- 4 g fine salt (3/4 tsp Diamond Crystal or 1/2 tsp Morton)
- 200 g white chocolate chips (1 cup)
- Optional: Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Brown the butter by melting it in a light-colored skillet over medium heat until it foams and the milk solids turn golden brown, about 4–6 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.
- Whisk together the brown and granulated sugars in a bowl, then pour in the warm browned butter and whisk until glossy. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking until combined, then whisk in vanilla.
- Combine the dry ingredients by whisking the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add to the wet mixture and fold until nearly combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate with 6–8 gentle strokes, taking care not to overmix.
- Scrape the batter into a lined 9 x 13-inch pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle additional white chocolate if desired. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 22–25 minutes.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 25–30 minutes, then chill for 30 minutes in the fridge before slicing into bars.
Notes
Chill the bars for cleaner cuts and prevent overbaking for best results.
