No-Fail Blondies Recipe image

Blondies are one of the simplest, tastiest baked goods you can make. These blondies are perfectly dense with a paper-thin crinkly top and taste like deep, rich buttery caramel.What You Need to Know: It's best to use dark brown sugar for these. Light brown sugar will work fine, but the flavor will not be as rich. Feel free to customize this recipe to your liking -- add chocolate, nuts, dried fruit or whatever else you adore. We've shared suggested amounts in the recipe below.

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons (115 grams or 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup (230 grams) lightly packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract, optional
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (140 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips (white, milk, semi-sweet, dark, etc.)
1/2 to 1 cup chopped and toasted nuts
1/2 to 1 cup chopped dried fruit or shredded/flaked coconut
1/4 cup liquor (bourbon, whisky, rum, etc.) Note: Increase flour by 1 tablespoon to accommodate
1/2 teaspoon favorings or extracts (coconut, mint, rum, raspberry, etc.)
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350ยบ F. Line an 8-inch by 8-inch metal baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, stir melted butter and brown sugar until blended. Add the egg, vanilla, almond extract (optional) and salt then stir vigorously until smooth. When the batter looks well blended, add the flour and stir until no more streaks of flour remain. Stir in chocolate chip, nuts or dried fruit (if using).
  • Spread the batter evenly in lined pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out relatively clean. Cool then cut into 16 squares.
  • Store blondies covered in an airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. You can also freeze up to 3 months.
