Brown Butter Blondies

My kids love chocolate chip cookies, so I decided to try blondies using browned butter and a trio of chocolate chips (dark morsels, semi-sweet mini chips, and milk chocolate chips).  These are not healthy in any means, but they do taste great.

Recipe adapted from Food Network

Ingredients:

3 sticks unsalted butter

3 cups lightly packed dark brown sugar

3 large eggs

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 ½ cups chocolate chips (I used a half cup each of dark chocolate morsels, mini semi-sweet, and milk chocolate chips)

Directions:

1. Brown the butter in a medium saucepan by cooking on medium low heat until medium-brown in color and melted through.  Allow to cool.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 9×13 baking pan.
3. Beat the butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment at medium until creamy. 
4. Add the eggs and vanilla beating on medium and scraping down the sides.
5. Add the baking powder and salt.  Add the flour ¼ cup at a time on low speed. 
6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Press the mixture in the prepared pan spreading to an even layer.
8. Bake 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs.
9. Let cool on a wire rack.
10. Store in a covered container or freeze individual squares. 
11. Enjoy!
