Instructions

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine browned butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and glossy. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Preheat oven to 175°C (top & bottom heat).

Line a 23×23 cm baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the batter evenly into the pan. Bake for about 35 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just set. Do not overbake, they will continue setting while cooling. Let cool before slicing for clean cuts.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Brown Butter Perfection 🧈
Cook butter over medium heat until milk solids turn golden brown and nutty-smelling (5-7 minutes), then cool completely before mixing into batter to prevent curdling the eggs and preserve those precious nutty flavors.
Brown Sugar Moisture Hack 💧
Pack your brown sugar firmly into the measuring cup to maximize moisture content, which directly contributes to that signature chewy texture and deep caramel flavor in every bite.
Underbake for Optimal Chewiness ⏱️
Remove blondies when the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when the pan is gently shaken—they'll continue cooking from residual heat and develop that perfect chewy center with crispy edges.
Chocolate Chunk Strategy 🍫
Use a mix of milk chocolate chunks and chips rather than uniform chips; larger chunks create pockets of melted chocolate that distribute unevenly for more luxurious texture variation throughout.
Acid-Base Balance Boost ⚗️
Use both baking soda and baking powder together—the soda reacts with brown sugar's acidity for lift and browning, while baking powder ensures even rise, creating the ideal crumb structure for chewiness.
