Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper, which will make it easier to remove the blondies later.

    Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Keep stirring frequently as it melts. Continue cooking until the butter develops a rich, golden brown color and an inviting nutty aroma, which should take around 5-7 minutes. Once ready, remove the saucepan from heat and let the butter cool slightly for a few minutes.

      Mix Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the warm brown butter. Add both the packed light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl. Use a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs into the sugar mixture, adding them one by one. Whisk thoroughly after each egg to ensure they are fully integrated. Finally, stir in the pure vanilla extract until everything is evenly mixed.

          Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed. This will help to ensure that your blondies have a uniform texture.

            Fold Ingredients Together: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to your wet mixture, being careful to fold gently until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to denser blondies. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips until they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter.

              Bake: Pour the prepared batter into your greased or lined baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The blondies are ready when the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

                Cool & Slice: Once baked, allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. After that, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into squares for serving.

                    - Presentation Tips: Arrange the cut blondies on a decorative platter, and consider dusting them lightly with powdered sugar for an elegant touch. You may also serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a delightful dessert experience.
