Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) butter, plus additional for greasing the baking pan
3 cups lightly packed light brown sugar
3 extra-large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Brown the butter by placing it in a medium saucepan over low heat to cook until medium-brown (not too light, not too burned), about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
  • Beat the cooled brown butter and brown sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the blondies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs stuck to it, about 35 minutes (I like these blondies gooey, so I go with a little less time). Let cool completely on a wire rack, then cut them and wrap them individually in plastic wrap so the sides don't dry out. Store in the freezer or at room temperature.

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

Brown butter mixture:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 large egg
3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Blondie:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more
1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 3/4 cups (packed) light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Steps:

  • Brown butter mixture:
  • Cook butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Transfer brown butter to a medium bowl; let cool slightly. Add egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat until mixture is light and falls back onto itself in a slowly dissolving ribbon, about 3 minutes. Fold in flour.
  • Blondie:
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 13x9" baking dish and dust with flour. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Whisk baking powder, salt, and 2 1/4 cups flour in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat brown sugar and 1 cup butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating between additions; mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in vanilla.
  • Reduce speed to low and mix in dry ingredients. Fold in half of pecans. Scrape two-thirds of batter into prepared baking dish; smooth top, pushing batter to edges. Alternating, dollop brown butter mixture and remaining batter on top. Smooth and sprinkle remaining pecans over.
  • Bake until blondie is golden brown and firm (a tester will not come out clean), 30-35 minutes. Let cool before slicing. Serve with ice cream.
  • Do ahead: Blondies can be made 1 day ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE TOFFEE BLONDIES

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup milk chocolate toffee bits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter or spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper; butter and flour parchment paper (I used Baker's Joy spray). In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the butter until it turns golden brown; remove from heat, and let cool. If you are like me and don't read the directions close enough, you'll cook on medium-high, then you'll have to strain out the dark brown bits in the pan. *sigh* Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add pecans and toffee bits to the dry ingredients and toss to coat. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine browned butter and both sugars; stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Attach bowl to mixer; add eggs. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla, and beat to combine. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined, spread into prepared pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Mine were done in 39 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before turning out of pan onto a cutting board. Peel off parchment paper; cut blondies into 3-inch squares. Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your blondies.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the blondies tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the blondies. They should be slightly undercooked in the center.
  • Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Serve the blondies with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include ice cream, whipped cream, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Brown butter blondies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your blondies turn out perfect every time.
