Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 unit large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter, and whisk until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for a chewy texture).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the blonde brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cool, cut into 12 squares or desired serving sizes, and enjoy!
