Decoration Tips:

To make these blondies even more special, try sprinkling extra chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top before baking. Once out of the oven, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top or dust with powdered sugar for a polished finish.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 115g unsalted butter, melted
• 150g brown sugar
• 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 125g all-purpose flour
• 100g chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk until well combined and smooth. Add the egg and egg yolk, followed by the vanilla extract, and whisk again until everything is fully incorporated.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.
4. Stir in Chocolate Chips:
   Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout.
5. Transfer to Baking Pan:
   Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly, making sure it reaches the corners.
6. Bake:
   Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (you don’t want to overbake them). The center should be slightly gooey but set.
7. Cool and Serve:
   Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before removing them and slicing into squares. They can be enjoyed warm for an extra gooey texture or cooled for a more structured bite.

Tips:

• For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
• If you prefer your blondies on the gooey side, bake them for the lower end of the time range (around 25 minutes).
• You can easily customize these blondies by mixing in chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or even dried fruit.

Storage: Store any leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months—just reheat them slightly before serving for that fresh-from-the-oven gooeyness!

Enjoy these delicious, rich, and perfectly chewy Chocolate Chip Blondies!
