Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chunks (semisweet or dark)

½ cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Instructions
 

Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter foams and turns golden brown—about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it! Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Mix Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk until well combined and smooth.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

            Fold in Chocolate and Nuts: Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Prepare the Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

                Bake: Pour the blondie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-26 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to lift them out. Let them cool fully on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

                    Enjoy: Serve your delicious brown butter chocolate chunk blondies warm, at room temperature, or even chilled!
