These moist and chewy treats couldn't be easier to toss together and are loaded with white chocolate chips, Heath bar bits and pecans. Molasses, just a tablespoon, adds an earthy, deep flavor. If white chocolate isn't your jam, sub in semisweet chocolate chips; a combination of both would not be remiss.

BLONDIES

Blondies are made for those of us that love chocolate chip cookies, but don't have the time or energy to bake tray after tray of scooped sweets. They have all the goodness of a cookie, but they come together in one pot, are baked in one pan and are ready to eat in less than an hour, start to finish. This recipe is a great base for any blondie dream you may have. Use chips or chopped bar chocolate, try butterscotch or white chocolate chunks, stir in nuts, coconut or seeds. If you like your blondies sort of brownielike, follow the recipe as follows. For a chewier, cookielike blondie, reduce the eggs by one.

Time 35m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 tablespoons/170 grams butter, salted or unsalted, plus more for greasing
1 cup/220 grams packed brown sugar, light or dark
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups/255 grams bittersweet chocolate chunks or chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
  • In a medium saucepan combine the butter and sugar, and heat over medium until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat, and whisk vigorously until well combined.
  • Let mixture cool for about 10 minutes, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Whisk in the vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and stir to combine. (You might still have some flecks of flour. That's OK.) Stir in 1 1/4 cup of the chocolate. Transfer to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate.
  • Bake until the very top looks just set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 18 to 20 minutes. Do not overbake.
  • Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes. Lift out using the paper, and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 16 pieces.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (6 ounces) butterscotch or semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a baking pan. Bake until toasted, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer pecans to a bowl to cool.
  • Butter a 9-inch-square cake pan, and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of electric mixer, combine butter and sugars. Beat until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping sides occasionally. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well combined. Add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Fold in butterscotch chips and toasted pecans.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread batter into pan. Bake until surface is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into center comes out barely clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into squares. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Chop the chocolate and nuts before starting the recipe. Line the baking pan with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the blondies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of chocolate chips: Using a combination of milk, dark, and white chocolate chips adds flavor and texture to the blondies.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the blondies, such as dried fruit, crushed pretzels, or marshmallows.
  • Baking time: The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your baking pan. Start checking the blondies for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time.
  • Cool completely before cutting: Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These New York Times blondies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, gooey center, and rich chocolate flavor, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these blondies a try!
