    What is a blondie?

    Blondies, also referred to as blonde brownies, are similar to brownies but are white in color and vanilla flavored. It has a fudgy texture like brownies but with an aromatic vanilla flavor.

    Blondies are one of the best dessert recipes for weeknight baking or the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. These are also great for your gameday, potluck parties, or picnics.

    Blondies are one of the best gift box ideas if you want to give your family or friends homemade treats this Thanksgiving or Christmas.

    Even beginners can easily make blondies at home. You must mix simple ingredients to form the batter, transfer it to a baking pan, and bake as per the instructions below. It is that easy!

    How to make the best ever chewy and fudgy blondie recipe?

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch by 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

    Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl, i.e., flour, baking soda, and salt. Keep this aside.

    Add melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in another bowl and whisk until light and fluffy.

    Fold in white chocolate chips. Of course, adding white chocolate chips is entirely optional.

    Spread this into a prepared baking pan and top with more white chocolate chips if needed.

    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    Let it cool completely, cut it into pieces of the desired size and enjoy.

    Pro Tips

    The baking time may vary depending on the type of pan used - whether it is a glass baking dish, a metal pan, or a silicone mold. But it all works, and you can bake in any of them.

    I have used a silicone pan, and thus I have not used parchment paper. If you use glassware or metalware for baking, then line your baking pan with parchment paper or grease with oil or butter.

    You can add nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts, along with white chocolate, if desired.

    If using melted salted butter, skip adding additional salt to the recipe.

    I like to use a combination of brown sugar and regular sugar. You can use either one of these.

    If you want the best-tasting blondies for this holiday season, I highly recommend you use clarified brown butter or use desi ghee. It gives a nutty flavor to your blondies.

    To make it extra special, as you see in the picture, you can add a layer of white chocolate at the center of your blondies instead of adding them as chunks/chips to your batter! For the white chocolate layer, melt ¾ cup of white chocolate and spread it to a thin, even layer on a silicone sheet, silicone mold, or parchment paper and let it set for a few minutes in the refrigerator. To assemble, pour half of the blondie batter into the baking pan and place the white chocolate layer prepared above. Follow this by spreading the remaining half of the batter and then baking as per instructions in the recipe. Note: You can add white chocolate chips to the batter and a white chocolate layer as described above to prepare the best-ever double-white chocolate blondie!

    Substitutions and Variations for classic blondies

    Instead of white chocolate chips, feel free to add dark/milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter baking chips, or M&Ms/Cadbury Gems.

    You can also use white chocolate chips with pecan, walnut, or almond if desired.

    If making it for the holiday season, you can make it festive by adding mixed dried berries or cranberries.

    If you are a coffee lover or someone like me who loves the smell of coffee, add instant coffee powder to the batter.

    Love caramel desserts? Top your blondies with ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

    How to store blondies?

    Blondies can be stored in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days at room temperature.
    You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

    FAQ

    What is blondie made of?

    Blondie is made of butter, flour, baking powder, eggs, and vanilla extract. It may contain white chocolate or butterscotch chips, pecans, or walnuts.

    Are blondies meant to be gooey in the middle?

    A good blondie is chewy in the middle and firm around the edges. You can make it gooey too. Add an additional egg yolk to the recipe to make your blondie gooey.

    What is a brookie?

    Brookie is a delicious fusion dessert made using brownie batter and chocolate chip cookie dough.

    What is the difference between blondie and brownie?

    The main difference between blondies and brownies is the type of chocolate or flavoring used. Blondies use vanilla, brown sugar, and optionally white chocolate chips to get that unique rich caramelly flavor, while brownies use cocoa powder and dark/milk chocolate chips.

    Why did my blondies sink in the middle?

    Underbaking blondies: If you remove the blondie from the oven quicker, even before the center has cooked through thoroughly, it will sink. In this case, try to bake them for an extra couple of minutes.

    Why are my blondies dry?

    Overbaking blondies will make them drier and crumblier.

    Can I use oil instead of butter to make blondies?

    Yes. The taste and texture will vary accordingly.
