BROWN BUTTER BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 11x7-inch baking dish.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling constantly until golden brown, bubbling, and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Beat brown butter and brown sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture just until incorporated. Fold in walnuts and semisweet chocolate chips. Spread batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing into 18 blondies. Dust with powdered sugar.

BROWNED BUTTER BLONDIES

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Continue cooking, watching closely, 5 minutes or until butter foams and turns deep golden brown. Immediately remove from heat; pour into bowl. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Line 13x9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, extending foil over edges. Spray bottom of foil-lined pan with no-stick cooking spray; set aside.
• Add brown sugar, eggs and vanilla to cooled browned butter; mix well. Add flour, baking powder and salt; stir just until combined. Stir in pecans and white baking chips. Spread into prepared pan.
• Bake 19-23 minutes or until golden brown around edges and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.
• Lift blondies from pan, using foil ends. Cut into squares.

BOURBON BROWN BUTTER BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring regularly, until butter turns brown and smells nutty, about 5 minutes, making sure it doesn't burn. Pour brown butter into a large bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Stir brown sugar into browned butter and add bourbon. Mix in egg and vanilla extract until combined. Add flour and salt; stir until well combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing.

BROWN BUTTER BLONDIES

Steps:

• First, brown the butter: Place it in a medium saucepan over low heat to cook. Check it after about 10 minutes; it should be a medium-brown color (not too light, not too burned). Once it reaches that color, take it off the heat and let it cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cooled brown butter and brown sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Fold in the walnuts and white chocolate chips.
• Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake the blondies for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs stuck to it (I like these blondies gooey, so I go with a little less time). Let cool completely on a wire rack, then cut them and wrap individually in plastic wrap so the sides don't dry out. Store in the freezer or at room temperature.

BROWN-BUTTER TOFFEE BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper; butter and flour parchment paper.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the butter until it turns golden brown; remove from heat, and let cool. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine browned butter and both sugars; stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Attach bowl to mixer; add eggs. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla, and beat to combine. Add flour mixture, walnuts, and toffee bits. Mix until thoroughly combined, and pour into prepared pan.
• Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes (do not overbake). Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before turning out of pan onto a cutting board. Peel off parchment paper; cut blondies into 3-inch squares or into suit shapes with 1 1/2- to 2-inch cookie cutters. Just before serving, dust half with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
