Traditional Chewy Vanilla Blondies
These classic blondies are rich with vanilla flavor and boast a delightfully chewy texture, thanks to melted butter and brown sugar. They're a simpler, crowd-pleasing alternative to chocolate brownies that come together in one bowl.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- 1.5 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder

Notes
Storage: Keep blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They freeze beautifully for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature. Make-Ahead: The batter can be prepared, spread in the pan, covered, and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Substitutions: You can use dark brown sugar for a deeper molasses flavor, or swap white chocolate chips for butterscotch chips or chopped toasted pecans. Serving: Enjoy as is with a glass of milk, or warm slightly and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
