Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Stir the brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 8
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 10
Allow the blonde brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
