2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 cups sugar

Time 40m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts
2 cups chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Butter one 10X15X1 jelly-roll pan, and line with parchment or foil paper.
  • Set a rack at the middle level of the oven, and preheat to 350.
  • In a mixing bowl,stir together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • Beat the butter with the sugars until combines.
  • beat in the eggs, one at a time, and finally the vanilla extract.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, then the nuts and the chips.
  • Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, until well risen and firm to the touch.
  • Cool in the pan on a rack.
  • After cake is cool, invert onto a cutting board and peel away the paper.
  • Cut into 2-inch squares.
  • Storage: keep the blondies in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Or wrap individually and freeze in a tightly closed plastic container.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your blondies. Use real butter, not margarine, and use good-quality chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the blondies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the blondies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry. The blondies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Serve the blondies warm or at room temperature: They are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Blondies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for bake sales, potlucks, and picnics. With so many different variations available, there is sure to be a blondie recipe that everyone will love.
