Blondies

Ingredients:

• 12 tablespoons/170 grams salted butter, plus more for greasing
• 1 cup/220 grams packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 ½ cups/255 grams semisweet chocolate chips

A few notes on making these:

• It’s important to grease and line your pan so that the blondies lift out easily when finished baking. 
• I like cooling these on a mesh rack. 

Directions:

• Heat oven to 350°F. 
• Grease and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
• In a medium saucepan combine the butter and sugar, and heat over medium until the butter is melted. 
• Remove from the heat, and whisk vigorously until well combined.
• Let mixture cool for about 10 minutes, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time. 
• Whisk in the vanilla.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and stir to combine. 
• Stir in 1 ¼ cup of the chocolate chips.
• Transfer to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
• Bake until the very top looks just set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 18 to 20 minutes—do not overbake.
• Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• Lift out using the paper, and transfer to a cutting board. 
• Cut into 16 pieces.
