Rich, chewy blonde brownies with a buttery brown sugar base, studded with sweet white chocolate chips and crunchy pecans for a comforting, bakery-style dessert.

Ingredients

⅔ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 egg yolk, at room temperature

1½ cups light brown sugar

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk until smooth.
  4. Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract and whisk until fully combined.
  5. Slowly whisk in the cooled melted butter until smooth.
  6. Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and a skewer inserted comes out mostly clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

An extra egg yolk creates a richer, chewier texture.

Do not overmix the batter to keep blondies tender.

Dark brown sugar can be used for a deeper caramel flavor.

Blondies slice best once fully cooled.
