- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- ½ teaspoon salt

How to Make Chocolate Chip Blondies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the blondies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your butter is fully melted but not hot to avoid cooking the eggs when mixed.
- For extra flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the sugar.
- Let them cool completely for cleaner cuts when slicing.
- Try not to overbake; they should be soft and slightly underbaked in the center for optimal chewiness.
Easy Variations
- Add 1 cup of chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for a nutty crunch.
- Substitute half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
- Mix in ½ cup of shredded coconut for a tropical flair.
What to Serve With It
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
- Serve alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
