Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups white chocolate chips
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch or 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal of the blondies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Extracts: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully combined before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract, scraping down the bowl sides to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar batter in two additions, stirring until a thick batter forms.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently mix 1 1/2 to 2 cups of white chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Transfer to Pan and Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula or spoon. For extra chocolatey goodness, sprinkle additional white chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper edges to lift the bars from the pan and transfer them to a wire rack. Cut into 16 equal squares and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, ensure butter is softened but not melted for proper creaming with sugars.
- Do not overbake to maintain the blondies’ chewy texture; check with a toothpick starting at 30 minutes.
- Almond extract adds a subtle nutty flavor but can be omitted for those with nut allergies.
- Use parchment paper with an overhang to easily remove baked blondies without breaking.
- White chocolate chips can be substituted with milk or dark chocolate chips for variation.
