How to make the BEST Browned Butter White Chocolate Blondie Bars
Blondies Recipe
I have a serious love affair with browned butter.
It started in 2003 when I was experimenting with using hot and cold butter in my cookies, instead of the typical room temperature butter. I fell in love with the depth of flavor that it gave baked goods. Let us not forget about the caramel notes it gives cookies as well. Huge browned butter fan here! Who is with me?
These Browned Butter White Chocolate Blondies are the bomb. I don’t even know why that is coming out of my mouth but they are that good.
What is a blondie? It’s basically the first cousin to both brownies and chocolate chip cookies. That is the relative jackpot, if you ask me!
The beauty of White Chocolate Blondie Bars are they are similar to cookies but easier. We love easy! The dough is poured into a pan, baked and then cut into squares.
I played around with this Blondies recipe I found in America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook. It is the cookbook I reach for the most because of the amount of time they spend researching and experimenting with their recipes. I have mad respect for their methods! I would like to be like them, with their professional kitchens and paid dishwashers. I would LOVE someone to wash my dishes! Can you even imagine? Pure heaven. I digress.
