When it comes to baking, the foundation of a great dessert lies in properly mixing your dry ingredients. In our Sweet and Chewy Chocolate Chip Blondies, this step is crucial for ensuring that each bite is perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. Mix your flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly before combining them with the wet ingredients. This not only ensures an even distribution of the leavening agents but also helps prevent the formation of lumps that can lead to uneven baking.

Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans work great)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

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

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

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

              Pour into Pan: Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

                Bake: Bake the blondies in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                  Cool Down: Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15-20 minutes. Then, use the parchment overhang to lift them out of the pan and let them cool completely on the wire rack.

                    Cut and Serve: Once completely cool, cut the blondies into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy your sweet and chewy chocolate chip blondies!
