Main ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter Browns for enhanced flavor

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (or nuts) until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Baking
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the blondies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving.
