Blondies

Time to learn how to make blondies. If you aren’t familiar with blondies, they are basically a cross between a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie.

But in all reality they are really just one large cookie bar, haha. The ingredients are pretty much the same as cookies, but they are a bit more gooey. If you like cookies and brownies you have got to gives these a try. They are so delicious and easy to make. If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get baking!

Step 1: Gather the ingredients

In order to make blondies at home you need several easy to find ingredients:

• Egg
• Butter – Softened, either salted or unsalted
• Brown sugar
• Granulated sugar
• Vanilla extract
• Flour
• Salt
• Pecans or Walnuts
• White chocolate chips

Step 2: How to make easy homemade blondies

Begin by preheating the oven to 350 F/176 C. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, egg, brown sugar, and white sugar as well as the vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed with a spatula.

Step 3: Mix in that flour and salt

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour and the salt or just add them both right to the bowl of blondie batter. Notice there is no baking powder or baking soda in this recipe. Although you could add a little bit of baking powder if you like. I never do however.

Mix in the flour mixture completely and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Then add in the white chocolate chips and the chopped pecans or walnuts. Fold them into the blondie dough until well combined. The consistency will look pretty much like a cookie dough or brownie batter.

Resist the urge to eat a spoonful of it, you know because of that whole raw egg thing in there. Or don’t, I won’t lie I have been known to eat the dough raw on occasion.

Step 4: Bake the blondies

Next grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with shortening or spray it with cooking spray. Now evenly spread the blondies dough/batter into the pan. Bake it on the middle rack position for 25 to 35 minutes, until it gets nice and golden brown on top.

The middle may be a bit gooey which is awesome, and exactly how I like them. You can certainly bake it a little longer if you like. If the top is getting too brown, cover it with aluminum foil.

Once the pan comes out of the oven allow it to cool completely before cutting into the blondie, to make smaller square blondies.

I usually cut it into 12 equal sized squares. Time to dig and and eat one! They are so simple to make and super yummy. Enjoy!

How long do blondies last?

If you store the blondies in a ziplock bag or airtight container at room temperature they will last 3 to 4 days or up to a week in the fridge. You can also just freeze them which will add a few months to the shelf life.
