Equipment

  • ½ cup brown sugar -packed

US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F (177° C).
  • Butter a 5x5 inch baking dish and set it aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until smooth and fully combined.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and whisk until well blended.
  • In a separate small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a rubber spatula.
  • Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any spills and bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the blondies cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Run a knife along the edges of the dish to loosen the blondies, then carefully cut them into 4 squares. Enjoy warm or let them cool completely before serving!

Notes

  • Melt the Butter First: Allow the melted butter to cool slightly before mixing it with the other ingredients.
  • Thoroughly Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt well before adding them to the wet ingredients. This ensures the leavening agent is evenly distributed.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Once the flour is added, stir just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in dense blondies, so keep the mixing to a minimum for the best texture.
