Chewy Brown Butter Blondies loaded with (optional) nuts and toffee!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter cut into Tablespoon-sized pieces 226g
  • 1 cup light brown sugar tightly packed 200g
  • 3/4 cup sugar 150g
  • 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk room temperature preferred
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 250g
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 /2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup chopped walnuts optional
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line a 9x9 metal baking pan* with parchment paper or lightly grease and flour.
  2. Place butter in a medium-sized saucepan and cook over medium heat until melted. Once melted, turn up heat just a notch above medium and continue to cook, stirring constantly as it pops and sizzles. Once the popping slows and the butter begins to turn brown, remove from heat and pour into a large heatproof bowl.
  3. Allow browned butter to cool for at least 20 minutes before proceeding.
  4. Once butter has cooled, add sugars and stir well.

Recipe Notes

*This recipe will also work in a 9x13 metal pan, it will only need to bake about 18-20 minutes. This recipe will work in a glass pan, but the baking time will be longer.
