Classic Chocolate Chip Blondies

The texture of a brownie, the flavors of a chocolate chip cookie, the simplicity of a basic bar recipe, all of these things make this my go-to dessert on a regular basis.

I’ve made these blondies countless times and they are always a hit. One of my brothers requests them each time he visits us. The best part? This is a very easy dessert to throw together whether in advance or at the last minute.

I love to serve these when they are still warm from the oven and oozing melted chocolate.

Ingredients1x2x3x

▢ 2 cups all-purpose flour
▢ ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
▢ ¼ teaspoon baking soda
▢ 1 teaspoon baking powder
▢ 10 tablespoons butter melted
▢ 2 cups light brown sugar
▢ 2 eggs
▢ 1 tablespoon vanilla
▢ 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
▢ ½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside. Stir together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture and stir again. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Add the chocolate chips and nuts if desired.
Pour batter into a well-greased 9x13 pan and bake for 23-25 minutes, until slightly browned along the edges with a brownie consistency in the center. Cool in the pan and then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling before storing in an airtight container.
To serve warm, cool for 10-15 minutes and then serve by themselves or with vanilla ice cream melting on top.
