Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or butterscotch)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Instructions
 

Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Keep cooking, stirring frequently, as the butter foams up, then begins to turn a rich golden brown and releases a nutty aroma, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Mix Sugars and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm brown butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition to ensure they're fully incorporated. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract.

      Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.

        Combine Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if desired.

          Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there's some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment with cooking spray or butter.

            Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

              Cool and Cut: Once baked, allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift them out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before cutting into squares.

                Serve and Enjoy: These delicious blondies can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. They’re delightful on their own or served alongside a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
