Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 12 tbsps (170 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 ¼ cups Heath chocolate toffee chips (milk or dark)
- 1 cup chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Additional Heath chocolate toffee chips (optional)
- Additional chocolate chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray for easy removal.
- Dry Mixture: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until uniformly blended.
- Wet Foundation: Combine melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl, creating a rich, smooth base. Incorporate eggs and vanilla, whisking until the mixture becomes light and aerated.
- Batter Assembly: Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Delicately fold in toffee pieces and semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Pan Preparation: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Optionally, garnish with additional chocolate chips for extra visual appeal.
- Baking Process: Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Look for golden-brown edges and a set center when gently touched.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the blondies to cool completely on a wire rack for about an hour. Lift from the pan using parchment paper, transfer to a cutting board, and slice into desired shapes.
- Storage: Preserve in an airtight container at room temperature, maintaining freshness for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture to keep blondies tender and soft, avoiding tough, dense texture.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution: Fold toffee and chocolate chips evenly throughout batter for consistent sweet crunch in every bite.
- Perfect Doneness Test: Check blondies are ready when edges turn golden and center feels set when lightly touched, preventing underbaking.
- Storage Secret: Keep blondies in airtight container at room temperature for maximum 4 days to preserve moisture and delicious flavor.
