Before diving into the actual baking process, preheating your oven is a crucial step that should never be overlooked. Proper temperature control is vital for achieving that perfect bake. For blondies, preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) ensures that the batter bakes evenly and develops that beautiful golden-brown crust while remaining soft and chewy in the center. An adequately preheated oven also helps to set the structure of the blondies quickly, which can prevent them from spreading too much. Always give your oven time to reach the desired temperature before placing your baking dish inside.

Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture. Ensure each egg is fully combined before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

            Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Transfer Batter: Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.

                Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).

                  Cool: Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting them into squares.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these blondies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
