Chewy Homemade Blondies
These thick and chewy blondies are a wonderful buttery treat that hits the spot every time.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about a warm blondie fresh out of the oven. They are basically the brown sugar version of a brownie, and they are incredibly simple to put together when you need a quick dessert for the family.
I love that this base recipe is a blank canvas. You can toss in chocolate chips, walnuts, or even colorful candies depending on what you have in your pantry. Just make sure you do not overbake them so they stay nice and fudgy in the center.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until the batter looks glossy.
- 4
Fold in the flour and salt until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
💡 Tips
Store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For a decadent treat, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
