Chocolate Chip Blondies

This recipe for Chocolate Chip Blondies is unbelievably delicious!  They are chewy, moist, and decadent – the perfect cross between a cookie and a brownie!

With the fudgy texture of a brownie and the buttery, sweet, vanilla flavor of chocolate chip cookies they’re a treat that’s just sheer perfection.

Tested & Perfected Blondies

This recipe is one of my go-to recipes when I need to fill a gift basket during the holidays. These blondies (and their chocolate chip cookie counterpart) are the most requested treat by family and friends each year.

I have made this recipe more times than any other baked recipe on this site. It’s as perfect as perfect can get and they are loved (and craved) by anyone I have ever made them for.

What is the difference between a brownie and a Blondie?

The biggest difference is chocolate. A brownie is made with cocoa powder and melted chocolate while a blondie is made with brown sugar and vanilla for flavor.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar in until fluffy.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 sticks butter softened
• 1½ cups light-brown sugar packed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs at room temperature
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Cups – Metric

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 f/ 170c degrees.
• Grease and flour an 9 x 13 baking pan.
• Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together into a large mixing bowl.
• In a seperate large mixing bowl. beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in until fluffy.
• Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla.
• Mix in the flour mixture by hand until combined (this avoids a cake-like consistency).
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, give the pan a little shake. If it giggles in the middle, put the pan back in and try again every 5 minutes until there is no longer a giggle.

Tips + Notes

• If you’re short on time, melt the butter and mix it into the sugars before adding the flour. The end result will be a soft, chewy texture.
• Mix the flour in by hand. Over mixing can cause the blondies to come out cakey instead of gooey and dense as they should be.
• The key to making blondies chewy and fudgy is to not overcook them.  I bake them 25 minutes and to check if they’re perfectly baked, I gently shake the pan.  If they giggle, put them back in the oven for five minutes at a time until just set (they can still have a very slight giggle).  Keeping them from being over baked keeps the blondies perfectly moist.
