Polly’s Testing Tips
- It is important to use a metal baking dish like this one. If you must use glass or ceramic, drop the baking temperature by about 15°F and increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
- If you want the chocolate chips to show, sprinkle some on top of the batter before baking. Otherwise they hide underneath.
- If you want a more firm center, cook 30-32 minutes. Keep in mind every oven is a little different!

How to Make Blondie Brownies
As I said, this dessert is super easy to whip up! See the recipe below for all details, but here are the basics…
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
Using a spatula, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Gently stir and fold just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Bake
Spread batter evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Bake on the center oven rack.
Let Cool
Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve.
