Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

Brown butter mixture:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 large egg
3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Blondie:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more
1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 3/4 cups (packed) light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Steps:

  • Brown butter mixture:
  • Cook butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Transfer brown butter to a medium bowl; let cool slightly. Add egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat until mixture is light and falls back onto itself in a slowly dissolving ribbon, about 3 minutes. Fold in flour.
  • Blondie:
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 13x9" baking dish and dust with flour. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Whisk baking powder, salt, and 2 1/4 cups flour in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat brown sugar and 1 cup butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating between additions; mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in vanilla.
  • Reduce speed to low and mix in dry ingredients. Fold in half of pecans. Scrape two-thirds of batter into prepared baking dish; smooth top, pushing batter to edges. Alternating, dollop brown butter mixture and remaining batter on top. Smooth and sprinkle remaining pecans over.
  • Bake until blondie is golden brown and firm (a tester will not come out clean), 30-35 minutes. Let cool before slicing. Serve with ice cream.
  • Do ahead: Blondies can be made 1 day ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

ONE-BOWL OOEY GOOEY PEANUT BUTTER CHIP BLONDIES



One-Bowl Ooey Gooey Peanut Butter Chip Blondies image

This one's for the "undercooked cookies are the best" crowd. Well, I suppose I'll allow you to cook them all the way if you like. :) I've tweaked this recipe a bit to get it to the point that it's no fuss, and can even be done in one bowl. No messy scooping around in the peanut butter jar; this one uses peanut butter chips instead. You can substitute other types of chips if you like - chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch, etc.

Time 35m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter
1 3/4 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces peanut butter chips

Steps:

  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat margarine or butter in the microwave on half-power until mostly melted.
  • With a wire whisk, mix in brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Dump in flour, baking soda and salt (if you're a purist, you can mix them in a separate bowl ahead of time, but I've always had just as good of results with the single-bowl method). Stir with a large wooden or plastic spoon until flour is completely incorporated.
  • Add peanut butter chips and stir.
  • Pour batter into a greased 13x9-inch pan and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until it's nicely browned and looks set.
  • Meanwhile, eat any remaining batter sticking to the bowl. :).
  • If you like your blondies more done, you can bake them a bit longer until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I have no idea how long that takes because I've never gone that far. I find they're just right at about 22 minutes, and definitely best when warm.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 20 blondies

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups, plus 3 tablespoons flour, sifted after measuring
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
8 ounces unsalted butter
2 cups, plus 10 tablespoons, packed, dark brown sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups peanut butter chips
1 cup toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9 by 13-inch baking pan and set aside. Sift flour with salt, baking soda, baking powder and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large sauce pan over low heat. Add the brown sugar, remove it from the heat and stir until completely blended; let cool to room temperature. Add eggs one at a time stirring well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. With a rubber spatula, fold the sifted flour into the batter with a few smooth swift strokes and stir just until batter is blended and smooth. Do not over mix or the blondies will be heavy. Stir in the chips and nuts and pour into a prepared pan. With a spatula, spread the batter to make sure it is even in thickness. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top springs back when you press it lightly with your fingertips or when a toothpick, when inserted in the center of the dough comes out clean.
  • Remove the blondies from the oven and let them set until completely cool. Cut into rectangles and wrap individually in plastic or foil to keep them very fresh.

YUMMY OOEY GOOEY CARAMEL PUMPKIN BLONDIES



Yummy Ooey Gooey Caramel Pumpkin Blondies image

A friend a while back gave me this recipe after we had dinner at her house and she made this dessert. I had to have the recipe before we left for home. Oh my; what a great dessert. The only thing I changed in it was I added butterscotch chips. And Woody had me add a scoop of ice cream on top. We love it so much that I made it for Thanksgiving this year and it didn't last the weekend. It was so great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. MMMMMMMMM!!!!! I called my friend and told her how I changed her recipe just a little and she is going to try it my way next time she makes it.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Softened unsalted butter and all-purpose flour, for preparing the baking pan
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons (5 ounces) unsalted butter
½ cup (packed) light brown sugar
½ cup (packed) dark brown sugar
¼ cup honey
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup chocolate chips*
⅓ cup chopped raw pecans
*We prefer chocolate with 60 percent cocoa content or higher. If you are a chocolate lover, increase to ⅔ cup chocolate chips.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with softened butter and dust the pan with flour. In a small saucepan over low heat (or in a small, microwave-safe bowl in a microwave oven), melt the butter and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugars, honey, egg, salt and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the flour and chocolate chips, and mix together with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan. Smooth out the top and edges, and then top with the pecans. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are barely golden. The blondies will be fully set when cool. Cool completely before cutting the blondies into 16, 2 x 2-inch squares.
