1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1cup all-purpose flour
1cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 8 x 8″ baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and egg yolk, and vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl stir together the baking powder, salt, and flour. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until just mixed and no clumps of flour remain. Fold in the chocolate chips. Do not over mix.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading into an even layer.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the blondies are golden brown, set on the edges and have puffed up. The middle will still be undercooked, but they will continue to cook as they cool!
Once the blondies are cool, cut into 9 squares for big blondies, or 16 squares for smaller portions and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter! This will lead to a tough blondie.
Don’t over bake the blondies! All ovens are different, so keep an eye on them and take them out when they’re still gooey in the middle!
