Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans work great!)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk together until smooth and combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

      Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures an even distribution of the leavening agent and salt throughout the blondies.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

          Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.

            Spread into the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners.

              Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 24-28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).

                Cool and Cut: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper (if used) and let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy these rich, chewy blondies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
