    Chewy blonde brownies, or “blondies”, are a seriously delicious dessert bar. Made with brown sugar and white chocolate chips, these vanilla flavored brownies are always a huge hit. 

    If you enjoy dessert bars be sure to check out these chocolate chip bars, butterscotch brownies and cake mix brownies.

    This blondie recipe is a family favorite. My kids love helping me make a batch for dessert but they are also great for parties, and bake sales.   

    What is a blonde brownie?

    Commonly referred to as “blondies”, these dessert bars don’t have cocoa powder. This dessert has a similar texture to chocolate brownies, just with a vanilla twist.

    What are blonde brownies made of?

    You will need these simple ingredients for this blondie recipe:

    Butter – Unsalted, sweet cream butter. Make sure it’s softened before creaming with brown sugar. 

    Brown sugar – I used light brown sugar but you can substitute with dark brown sugar.

    Eggs, vanilla extract 

    All-purpose flour, baking soda, salt

    White chocolate chips – Or substitute with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, or candy

    1. Prepare: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper or foil. Lightly spray with non-stick spray. 
    2. Mix: Cream softened butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt. 
    3. Fold: Fold in white chocolate chips. 
    4. Bake: Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    Tips and variations for making blondies

    • To have easy cut, clean squares, allow the blondies to cool for 1-2 hours and then cut with a knife. I like to lift mine out onto a cutting board before slicing.
    • Make sure butter is softened, not melted. 
    • I added white chocolate chips but feel free to substitute with chocolate chips, nuts, toffee bits and more. I would recommend adding between 1-2 cups of your add-in. These are also delicious without anything extra added into the mix.
    • If you don’t have parchment paper or foil, spray the baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and add batter into ban. The parchment makes it easier to lift the blonde brownies out to cut. 

    How to store

    Store: These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. 

    Freeze: You can freeze blonde brownies by letting them completely cool. Wrap in plastic wrap and then placing in freezer safe bag. Be sure to try and remove as much air as possible from the bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.

      Brownies are one of my favorite desserts, especially, with a scoop of ice cream on top. I must admit that I haven’t ever had blondies. I’ll be trying this recipe this weekend.
