Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C) and line an 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with parchment paper, or grease it well.
- Melt the butter and let it cool slightly; then stir in brown sugar and granulated sugar until glossy.
- Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, mixing until thick and creamy.
- Stir in flour, salt, and baking powder until no dry flour remains, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
Baking
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until the top is set and lightly golden. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling
- Let the blondies cool completely before slicing to achieve clean squares and optimal texture.
Notes
Do not overbake. Letting the blondies cool fully is crucial for texture. If you want neat bars, use parchment paper for easy lifting.
