Frequently asked questions – FAQ
How to store these white chocolate blondies
You can store these blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to 1 weeks. I like to heat them up in the microwave to get those melted white chocolate pools in the middle again before enjoying them.
Can I freeze these?
You sure can. Place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for a few hours.
Can I make these white chocolate blondies with nuts?
One of my favorite ingredients to add to these is toasted macadamia nuts. Add some when you fold in your chocolate chips before baking.
Can I use different chocolate fot this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use semi-sweet chocolate or even dark chocolate here.
Can I make this recipe for the holidays?
Absolutely! You can of course use my Christmas m&m’s cookie bar recipe but if you wanna stick with this brown butter blondie, add some Christmas sprinkles to the batter as well as to the top of the batter before baking for a super cute finish.
Another way to decorate the blondie batter would be to use food coloring to color the batter according to the holiday you are making them for.

Make the brown butter

- Spread the blondie mixture in the prepared 8X8 inch baking pan, and bake for 25 minutes.

Chahinez
Thank you!
maby
these are really good! but definitely 1/4 the salt. they came out so salty, and a teaspoon is definitely too much! a pinch would work fine, but other than that, they’re wonderful. i used vegetable oil based butter so it didn’t brown, but they still taste awesome!
Chahinez
Oh no!! So sorry to hear that! What kind of salt did you use?
Glad they still tasted really good!
Phil
Can I roll them into balls and bake them like cookies?
