Ingredients

For the blondie

  • ¾ cup butter
  • 1 & ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks optional

Instructions

Make the brown butter

  • In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter, making sure to stir continuously. Continue cooking it for 3-5 minutes or until the butter is foamy and turns medium golden brown.
    ¾ cup butter
  • This process is called browning the butter. Keep a close eye on it because it can burn easily. Remove from the heat, transfer to a medium bowl, and let the butter cool down to room temperature. It doesn't have to harden.

Make the brown butter blondie

  • Preheat the oven to 350F then line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • When the butter is at room temperature, mix the melted brown butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until combined.
    1 & ¼ cup brown sugar, ¾ cup butter
  • Add the egg, the egg yolk, and the vanilla extract and whip until everything is light and fluffy. This process will create a beautiful crinkly top.
    1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Mix in the flour, cornstarch, and salt just until the flour disappears. You don't want to over-mix the brown butter blondie mix. Fold in the chocolate or whatever mix-ins you decide to use.
    1 ¼ cup flour, 2 tablespoon cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 cup chocolate chunks
  • Spread the blondie mixture in the prepared 8X8 inch baking pan, and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Once baked, pull out the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool down fully before slicing into them. I let them cool for an hour or two depending on my kitchen's temperature. They should be at room temperature. This will allow the bars to be fully set. Slice into 16 equal squares and enjoy.
