Description

These chocolate chip blondies are out of this world delicious! Not only are they easy to make, but they are bursting with flavor, from extra brown butter toastiness (helped by a secret ingredient), to plenty of sweet chocolate, and a sprinkling of flaky salt to bring everything together. These blondies are like chocolate chip cookies in brownie form. They bake up soft and chewy with an incredible butterscotch-like flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp dry milk powder
  • 3/4 cup (150g) dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping
  • flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Place butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Melt butter completely and allow to cook until it becomes foamy.  Once foamy, add in the dry milk powder and whisk to thoroughly combine.  Watch very closely from this point as the butter solids and milk powder will begin to brown quickly.
  2. Allow the butter & milk powder to cook until amber brown in color and has a nutty aroma.  At this point, remove from the heat and pour into a measuring glass.  Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F.  Line and grease an 8×8” square baking pan with parchment paper.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the dark brown sugar and the cooled browned butter (including all the brown solid bits) together until smooth.  The mixture may be warm but should not be hot.  Next, whisk in the egg, yolk, and vanilla.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, gently mix in the flour, baking powder and salt until just barely combined.  Fold in the chocolate chips.  Dough will be thick like cookie dough.
  6. Press the dough into the prepared pan in an even layer.  If desired, sprinkle a handful of additional chocolate chips on top and lightly press to adhere to the surface.
  7. Bake for 25-28 minutes.  The blondies are done when the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Once out of the oven, sprinkle the bars with a bit of flaky salt.  Allow to cool for 30-45 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing into 16 squares.
