Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon milk (any kind)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200 grams) dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups (191 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Chocolate Chips

  • ½ cup (85 grams) milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (85 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (85 grams) bittersweet chocolate chips

Topping

  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch metal baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the blondies out. Spray the lining with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy release.
  2. Browning the Butter: In a medium stainless steel sauté pan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally as it foams and starts to crackle and pop. Continue cooking until the butter emits a nutty aroma and amber brown bits form on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and immediately pour the browned butter into a large mixing bowl, scraping all the browned bits from the pan into the bowl.
  3. Mix Sugars and Flavorings: While the butter is still warm, whisk in the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until fully combined. Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring them in well. Allow the mixture to cool until it is just warm to the touch, which prevents the eggs from scrambling in the next step.
  4. Add Eggs: Vigorously whisk in the whole egg and the egg yolk until the mixture is very smooth and glossy, ensuring the batter is well combined.
  5. Fold in Dry Ingredients and Chocolate Chips: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the all-purpose flour, fine sea salt, and baking powder until just incorporated. Then stir in the milk, semisweet, and bittersweet chocolate chips, reserving approximately ¼ cup (43 grams) of the combined chips to sprinkle on top of the batter.
  6. Transfer Batter to Pan and Add Toppings: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top and gently press them into the surface of the batter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven. For gooier blondies, bake for about 25 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center still has a slight jiggle when gently shaken. For a firmer texture, bake about 27 minutes until the edges deepen in golden color and the center is set.
  8. Note on Pan Types: If using a glass or ceramic baking pan instead of metal, increase the baking time by at least 5 minutes, as these materials generally cook more slowly.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the foil or parchment overhang. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve.
  10. Storage: Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, maintaining their chewy texture and moistness.

Notes

  • Brown butter adds a rich, nutty flavor to the blondies that elevates their taste.
  • Using three types of chocolate chips provides a complex, layered chocolate experience.
  • Sprinkling flaky sea salt on top balances the sweetness with a subtle savory touch.
  • Ensure the butter mixture cools before adding eggs to prevent scrambling.
  • Adjust baking time according to your preferred blondie texture: slightly underbake for gooier centers.
  • Metal pans conduct heat more efficiently than glass or ceramic pans, which may require longer baking times.
