Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (browned and melted) (3/4 cup or 170g total needed after browning)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar (150g)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 oz milk and dark chocolate (6oz of each) (chips, chunks, or chopped bars)
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177℃). Line a quarter sheet pan (or 8x8" pan for thicker blondies) with parchment paper.
  2. Add the butter to a frying pan over medium heat. Stir frequently until it turns golden and the milk solids form brown flecks.
  3. Transfer the brown butter to a large mixing bowl, scraping out all brown bits.
  4. Whisk in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar for about 1 minute until well combined.
  5. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking vigorously again for another minute until smooth.
  6. Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt; gently fold until just combined.
  7. Fold in 3/4 of the chocolate, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate over the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18-20 minutes (or 25-28 minutes for the 8x8" pan) until the center looks slightly underdone.
  2. Let cool on a wire rack and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or cut them into small pieces for sharing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
