If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Blondies are just brownies without chocolate, right?” prepare to have your culinary world rocked. Today I’m going to show you how to make brown butter chocolate chip blondies. One of my favorite recent desserts!

Imagine taking the classic comfort of a blondie and dialing it up with the nutty richness of brown butter, then sprinkling in a merry mix of white and semi-sweet chocolate chips for a texture and taste combo that’s nothing short of spectacular.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Brown butter? Sounds fancy.” But here’s the twist: it’s simpler than you think.

As for the white and semi-sweet chocolate chips, they’re not just there for show. They’re the dynamic duo that elevates these blondies from “pretty darn good” to “where have you been all my life?” levels of deliciousness.

It’s like they say: “Why choose between white and semi-sweet chocolate when you can have both?” (Okay, maybe nobody says that, but they should.)

This recipe is so delicious, it will turn you into a brown butter believer: ready to spread the gospel of these blondies far and wide. (you should also try our brown butter krispies)

After all, in the grand scheme of things, it’s just butter and sugar meeting their destiny. Follow me as we embark on this mouth-watering adventure, and let’s bake something unforgettable.

Tips for Making Blondies

It’s easier to mess up a blonde brownie recipe than you think. Let me give you some simple tricks for producing the dessert bars of your dreams (or you can scroll down to the bottom).

Use room temperature eggs.

Cold eggs don’t mix as easily and can cause your blondies to be too dense. Keep the eggs room temp for the perfect consistency.

Don’t overmix when adding dry ingredients.

You want to fold an ingredient into the batter until it’s just combined (and you can’t see it) as opposed to beating it to death. Overmixing will cause blonde brownies that are too dense/will rise and then fall in the oven.

Know your bakeware and oven.

Metal pans cook things faster, glass more slowly. That coupled with the fact that every oven is different means you need to check your goodies about five minutes before they’re supposed to be done.
