What are blondies?
Blondies are a bar dessert, that is very similar to brownies, but they are made without chocolate or cocoa powder. Instead, they are flavored with vanilla.
Blondies are extremely popular because they are easy to make, just like brownies, they are made with simple ingredients and taste like a chocolate chip cookie!
Ingredients
Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.
Full measurements are in the recipe card below.
Butter- use unsalted butter for this recipe. Only butter will work for this recipe, no margarine, and no coconut oil. Margarine has a weird taste and can ruin the flavor of this delicious baked good.
Eggs– To give the blondies a good structure. Make sure you’re using room-temperature eggs.
Egg yolk- we like adding egg yolk to make the texture gooier!
Flour– we used all-purpose flour for this recipe, cake flour will work great as well.
Granulated sugar– we like to use granulated sugar, also the most common sugar used in baking. Caster sugar will work great as well.
Vanilla extract– Vanilla extract Is an essential ingredient in baking.
Salt– We used kosher salt for this recipe. Salt doesn’t give the blondies a salty taste, it helps to enhance the flavor.
Chocolate chips- you can use any kind of chocolate chips we like to use either dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or semisweet chocolate chips.
Instructions
preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a parchment paper-lined 8 by 8-inch baking pan.
Into a medium mixing bowl, add the cooled melted butter, brown sugar, kosher salt, and vanilla extract, and mix with a whisk until well combined.
Add the egg and egg yolk and mix until the mixture is smooth.
Add the flour and mix until almost combined.
Add the chocolate chips and mix until the mixture is just combined and there are no lumps of flour in the mixture. Don't overmix!
Pour the batter into a parchment paper-lined baking pan and bake in a preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the blondies are crinkly.
Make sure you line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the blondies to stick to the pan.
Let the blondies cool for about 20 minutes, slice, and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and milk. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist brownies and not dense and dry brownies.
- Mesure you flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
- Add some of your favorite add-ins! Make this recipe your own and add your favorite add-ins: chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, chocolate chunks, M&M, caramel sauce, white chocolate, kinder, toffee, and more! Be creative!
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat these as they are pulled out of the oven, but let them cool for at least 20 minutes so they will be more firm and won’t crumble up. These blondies are extra moist and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, so it will be worth it to wait these 20 minutes.
- Don’t overbake your blondies! to have super moist blondies, we like to underbake the brownies a little bit.
- Ensure you line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the blondies from sticking to the pan.
Faq's
We use all-purpose flour for blondies, self-rising flour, and cake flour will work great as well.
These will last for up to 3 days stored at room temperature or for up to 5 days stored in the fridge.
The difference between a brownie and a blondie is that blondies are flavored with vanilla instead of chocolate!

It’s okay to store these blondies at room temperature. Cover them with plastic wrap or foil to prevent them from drying out.
Freezing
To freeze blondies, you will need to wrap the brownies in plastic wrap or foil and seal them in an airtight container or in an airtight resealable bag. You can freeze blondies for up to 2 months.
