Brown Butter Blondies ( chocolate chip cookies bars )
Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup 015g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
– 2 tbsp neutral oil (avocado oil works well)
– 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
– 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
-1 large egg, room temperature
-1 tbsp vanilla extract
-1 1/4 cups (185g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
-1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once boiling, swirl the pan or stir constantly until the butter turns a deep amber color (brown butter).
3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, combine cooled brown butter, oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk 1-2 minutes until a smooth paste forms.
5. Crack in the egg and add vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and the mixture turns into a smooth paste (2-3 minutes).
6. Combine dry ingredients into the wet batter and gently fold until just combined.
7. Add chocolate and mix with a spatula until evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing.
8. Line an 8*8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
9. Press the batter into the prepared pan.
10. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden.
11. Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
12. Allow to cool completely in the pan before serving.
Tips:
– Ensure the brown butter cools slightly before mixing with other ingredients.
– Don’t overmix the batter.
– Keep an eye on the oven to avoid overbaking.
