Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract until blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra chewy texture, try using light brown sugar instead of dark. You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate or even butterscotch chips for a different flavor profile. If you want to add a nutty crunch, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens may vary.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious blondies with a scoop of Dream Ice Cream for a delightful dessert combination. They also pair nicely with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For an extra touch, drizzle warm caramel sauce over the top or sprinkle with sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. If you want to enjoy them warm later, simply reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sugar?
Yes, you can use granulated sugar if you prefer a lighter flavor, but the texture may be slightly different. Brown sugar is key for that chewy consistency, so consider using at least some brown sugar for the best results.
Can I make these blondies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to let it come to room temperature before baking. The blondies can also be baked ahead and stored, making them perfect for gatherings or as a sweet treat throughout the week.
What can I do if my blondies are too dry?
If your blondies turn out dry, it could be due to overbaking. Make sure to check them a few minutes earlier than the suggested time. If you find yourself with dry blondies, try serving them with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce to add moisture and flavor back.
