Instructions
Preheat Oven: Heat to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk melted butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
- Fold in Mix-Ins: Add chocolate chips and any extras like nuts or dried fruit.
- Bake: Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

Enjoy!
Notes
- Butter: Use unsalted for better flavor control; melt and cool before mixing.
- Sugar: Brown sugar adds chewiness and a caramel-like flavor.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to keep the blondies tender.
- Check Doneness: Bake until the edges are golden and the center is set; a toothpick should have a few moist crumbs.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days or freeze for longer freshness.
