Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

  2. 2

    Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and light brown sugar until smooth and glossy, ensuring the sugar fully dissolves for the best texture.

  4. 4

    Beat in eggs and vanilla extract one at a time to maintain a creamy, unified mixture.

  5. 5

    Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula—avoid overmixing to keep blondies tender.

  6. 6

    Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top; bake on the center rack for 22–25 minutes until the top is golden and set but the center is still slightly soft.

  7. 7

    Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing into bars for clean edges and optimal chewiness.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient that creates the signature flavor in these blondies?
The key ingredient is light brown sugar, which provides the classic butterscotch richness and chewiness that distinguish blondies from other dessert bars. Combined with a touch of vanilla extract, it delivers warmth and depth of flavor.
Q. How can I ensure my blondies turn out perfectly chewy and not dry?
To guarantee chewy blondies, avoid overbaking—remove them from the oven when the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. Let them cool in the pan; residual heat will finish baking without drying them out.
Q. What's the best way to mix the ingredients for great texture?
Melt the butter and fully incorporate the brown sugar while it's warm, then gently fold in the flour mixture. Overmixing can make blondies tough, so mix only until just combined for a tender, chewy crumb.
Q. How many calories are in one blondie bar, and what's the main nutrient?
Each blondie (60g serving) contains about 220 kcal, with carbohydrates being the main nutrient at 33g (60% of calories), followed by fat at 9g (36%), and protein at 2g (4%).
