Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies
Brown butter chocolate chip blondies are part chocolate chip cookie, part blondie, and fully packed with rich brown butter flavor! These chewy and gooey treats are an easy-to-make recipe that everyone will love.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs cold
- 1 large egg yolk cold
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour *see notes for measuring*
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup chopped dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a square 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper to cover all four sides. Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.
- In a stainless steel or light-colored pan, cook the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it smells nutty and there are amber brown bits of butter solid at the bottom of the pan. As the butter browns, it will pop, foam, and bubble. Stand nearby and watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn!
- Scrape the browned butter into a container with a spout for pouring. Set aside to cool, until it feels warm but isn't hot. If it's too hot it will melt the chocolate chips.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla, until light and pale in color, about 1 minute.
- Slowly stream the brown butter into the bowl, whisking constantly to combine.
- Fold in the flour and salt until most combined, then add in the chocolate chips and continue mixing until just combined.
- Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 28-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pan cool completely on a wire cooling rack before cutting, then enjoy!

Notes
*Measure your flour properly. This is my #1 baking tip! Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour as this always leads to using too much flour. Instead, use the spoon-level method. This means fluffing the flour first, then spooning it into your measuring cup/spoon. For the BEST results, use a kitchen scale!*
