How to make Blondie

Preheat Oven

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan (or 8x8 for thicker blondies) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Melt Butter

  1. Step 1

    In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly so it doesn't cook the eggs.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, add the brown sugar to the melted butter and whisk until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Add the eggs, one at a time, and whisk until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the vanilla extract.

    Step 4.1: Add salt, baking soda, corn flour, and all-purpose flour to the wet mixture
  2. Step 2

Pour and Spread

  1. Step 1

    Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.

  2. Step 2

    Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips or grated chocolate on top.

    Step 5.1: Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips or grated chocolate on top

Bake

  1. Step 1

    Bake for 25–30 minutes (for a 9x13 pan) or 30–35 minutes (for an 8x8 pan) until the top is golden brown.

  2. Step 2

    A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.

  3. Step 3

    Don't overbake — blondies continue to set as they cool.

Cool and Slice

  1. Step 1

    Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps them set and makes cutting easier.

  2. Step 2

    Enjoy your tasty blondies!
