Chocolate Chip Blondies

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Chocolate Chip Blondies are rich, chocolatey and decadent. The gooey melt in your mouth cookie flavor makes these a delicious and delectable dessert for any occasion.

Cut up pieces of Chocolate Chip Blondies on a white surface with chocolate chips scattered around the blondies.

Chocolate Chip Blondies are a huge hit because they are like a cross between a brownie and a chocolate chip cookie so you get the best of both worlds with this recipe. They are simple to make and only require 7 ingredients. Simply mix up the dough, press it into the pan and pop it into the oven. Chocolate Chip Blondies are gooey, chocolatey and decadent and they make a great dessert when you are looking for something on the richer side. They taste amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.

If you prefer brownies or chocolate chip cookies rather than a cross between the two, try my Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies or Brownies for some other crowd pleasing desserts.

  • Brown Sugar - Helps to keep the blondies soft and moist.

Hint: Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing with the brown sugar.

Substitutions

  • Unsalted Butter - Salted butter can be substituted for the unsalted butter. If you use salted butter then omit the salt from the recipe.

Equipment

Electric Mixer - I used an electric mixer for this recipe. If you do not have an electric mixture, you can use a large spoon to mix the dough. Just be sure to mix it thoroughly.

Storage

Chocolate Chip Blondies for can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.

Chocolate Chip Blondies freeze well. Place blondies in a freezer safe container or bag and freeze up to three months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature when ready to eat.

Top tip

Do not overbake the blondies. If you overbake the blondies, they will be dry. Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges look set. The middle will still look underbaked but it will continue to bake after you remove it from the oven.

FAQ

Are blondies supposed to be gooey in the middle?

Yes! These Chocolate Chip Blondies are meant to be soft and gooey in the middle.

Why are my blondies hard?

You have baked the blondies too long. Bake for 20-23 minutes or until the edges look set. The middle will continue baking after you remove it from the oven.
