Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
4. Add the White Chocolate: Fold in the white chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
5. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Cool and Serve: Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Slice into squares and enjoy!

FAQs

Can I use white chocolate bars instead of chips?

Yes! Chopped white chocolate bars melt beautifully and create pockets of creamy chocolate throughout the blondies.

How do I know when the blondies are done baking?

The edges should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, you can double the recipe and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan. The baking time may increase by 5-10 minutes.

Why are my blondies too cakey?

Overmixing the batter or adding too much flour can make blondies more cake-like. Be sure to mix just until combined.

Can I use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar?

Yes, but dark brown sugar will give a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.

Can I make these blondies gluten-free?

Yes! Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.

What’s the best way to cut blondies neatly?

Let the blondies cool completely before slicing with a sharp knife. For clean cuts, wipe the knife between slices.

Can I add other mix-ins?

Absolutely! Try adding toffee bits, cinnamon, or even crushed cookies for extra flavor.

How do I prevent blondies from becoming too dry?

Avoid overbaking! Blondies should be slightly underbaked in the center for the best texture.

What’s the difference between blondies and brownies?

Blondies are vanilla-based with a caramel-like sweetness from brown sugar, while brownies are chocolate-based with cocoa powder or melted chocolate.

Conclusion

These thick and chewy white chocolate blondies are the perfect balance of rich, buttery sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch in no time. Whether you enjoy them plain or with creative mix-ins, they’re sure to be a hit!
