Classic Chocolate Chip Blondies are a delightful dessert that combines the rich, buttery flavors of a traditional blondie with the beloved taste of chocolate chips. These treats are dense and chewy, making them the perfect indulgence for any occasion, whether it’s a casual family gathering or a special celebration.
The simplicity of the ingredients means they come together quickly, and they can be enjoyed warm out of the oven or at room temperature. What sets these blondies apart is their caramel-like flavor, which comes from the brown sugar and butter mixture.
The addition of chocolate chips adds a sweet and melty surprise in every bite. These blondies are incredibly versatile, allowing for the inclusion of nuts, dried fruit, or even a swirl of peanut butter for an extra twist. No matter how you customize them, they’re sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the blondies after baking. This will guarantee your blondies come out perfectly without sticking to the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This step is essential as it helps to create the signature dense and chewy texture of the blondies.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until everything is fully incorporated. The eggs contribute to the structure of the blondies, so it’s important to mix thoroughly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough blondies.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. The chocolate chips will melt slightly during baking, creating delicious pockets of chocolate in each blondie.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares for serving.
Extra Tips: For an added depth of flavor, consider toasting the chocolate chips for a few minutes before folding them into the batter. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark or milk chocolate, to suit your taste preferences.
If you’d like to add a bit of texture, try mixing in some chopped nuts or shredded coconut. These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, making them perfect for meal prep or snacks on the go. Enjoy your baking!

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the blondies. This guarantees that your blondies come out perfectly without sticking to the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and glossy, indicating that the sugars are fully incorporated into the butter.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until everything is thoroughly combined. This helps to create a rich and cohesive batter.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and well combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. This adds chocolatey goodness that will melt beautifully as the blondies bake.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
Extra Tips: For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, for a unique twist.
If you want to enhance the coffee flavor even more, serve your blondies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of espresso sauce. Enjoy your delicious Espresso Chocolate Blondies!
