Ingredients
  

For the Blondies:
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted butter for browning
  • 1 cup Brown sugar packed
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar for sweetness
  • 1 Large egg at room temperature
  • 1 Egg yolk at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla extract for flavor
  • 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour for structure
  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt to balance sweetness
  • 1/3 cup Chopped walnuts for crunchiness
  • 1/2 cup Toffee bits for a sweet, chewy surprise

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Brown the Butter - Start by placing the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to melt, then continue cooking while stirring frequently. Watch closely as it foams and begins to turn golden brown, giving off a nutty aroma. Once it reaches a deep amber color, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Sugars - In a large mixing bowl, combine the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the warm brown butter, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  3. Step 3: Add the Eggs and Vanilla - To the sugar mixture, add the large egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully incorporated.
  4. Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients - In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Fold in the Mix-Ins - Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and toffee bits, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Step 6: Bake - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Enjoy - Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Enjoy your Chewy Brown Butter Blondies with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk!
