Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until completely liquefied. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.

Step 6

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.

Step 7

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and chopped pecans (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with your spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
