Steps
### Delicious Chocolate Chip Blondie Brownies: A Step-by-Step Guide
#### Introduction:
Looking to satisfy your sweet tooth with something extra indulgent? Try making these delectable chocolate chip blondie brownies. This recipe combines the classic flavors of a blondie with the rich, fudgy texture of a brownie—plus, we’ve added in some delicious chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor.
#### Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (or dark, white, or any flavor you prefer)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts for added texture
#### Instructions:
##### Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Your Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray, ensuring it's evenly coated.
##### Step 2: Melt the Butter
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. You can also use a saucepan to melt the butter over low heat.
- Allow the melted butter to cool slightly but remain warm for easier mixing.
##### Step 3: Combine Sugars and Wet Ingredients
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup light brown sugar.
- Add in one large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly thick.
##### Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing continuously until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
##### Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Stir in 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (or your preferred type). If using nuts, gently fold them in now as well for added texture and flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
##### Step 6: Bake the Brownies
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the blondie brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting and serving.
#### Tips for Success:
- For the best results, ensure your butter is not too hot when you mix it in; this will help prevent overcooking the batter.
- Letting the mixture cool slightly after mixing can make it easier to handle when folding in the chocolate chips and nuts.
By following these detailed steps, you’ll be able to craft a batch of rich, fudgy blondie brownies that are sure to impress at any gathering or simply enjoyed on their own. Enjoy your baking!
