Do Si Do Blondies Recipes

EASY NO-FAIL BLONDIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176C). Lightly butter and line an 8-inch by 8-inch metal baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. There is just enough batter to cover the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan.
• Melt the butter or, for a toasted flavor, make brown butter (here is our recipe for brown butter).
• Whisk the warm butter into the brown sugar until blended. The mixture will look greasy and gritty.
• When the sugar and butter mixture is warm, not hot, add the egg, vanilla, almond extract (optional), and salt. Stir until smooth and ever so slightly lighter in color.
• Add the flour in two additions, gently folding it into the batter after each addition until you no longer see streaks of flour.
• Stir in the chocolate chips and any additional add-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. It just covers the bottom of the pan. The batter is very thick, so gently pressing the batter into the corners helps.
• Bake the blondies until the edges look dry and the middle looks shiny and slightly underbaked; 20 to 30 minutes. We consistently achieve excellent results when baking these blondies in a 350° F oven for 23 minutes. Ovens vary, and bake time can be affected by the pan you have used. We remove the pan when the top looks shiny and light golden brown. The batter might still look slightly wet if there are cracks, but the middle should not wiggle like jello.
• Cool to room temperature before removing from the pan - this step is essential and helps the blondies set.
• Cut into 16 squares. Don't be surprised if the blondies have not risen much. These are intended to be dense, rich, and a little fudgy.
• Store covered in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. Freeze for up to 3 months.

DO-SI-DO BLONDIES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch-square baking pan with foil, pressing it into the corners and up the sides, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Place the butter in a small saucepan and melt over medium heat, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Pour the melted butter into a large bowl and add the brown sugar and peanut butter. Whisk to combine, then add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
• Add the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix just until a smooth batter forms. Add the peanut butter sandwich cookies and chocolate chips and stir until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread out evenly using a small offset spatula or the bottom of a flat measuring cup, smoothing out the top. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons additional chocolate chips.
• Bake until the batter puffs and the edges are lightly browned, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through the cooking time. Place the pan on a cooling rack and cool the blondies in the pan completely before lifting them out of the pan using the foil. Cut into 12 to 16 pieces and serve.

BROWN SUGAR BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix brown sugar, flour, walnuts, butter, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl by hand until smooth. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

HONEY BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line with parchment, leaving an overhang on 2 sides, then butter parchment and flour pan, tapping out excess.
• Melt butter and honey in a saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in egg and vanilla, then flour and salt until just combined. Let cool about 30 minutes. Stir in chocolate chunks; spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
• Bake until browned on edges and set, about 28 minutes. Let cool completely in pan set on a wire rack, then lift blondies out of pan using overhang. Remove parchment and cut into squares. Blondies can be stored in an airtight container up to 3 days.

EASY BLONDIES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and both sugars in a pan over a low heat, adding a pinch of salt if the butter is unsalted. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins - this will stop the eggs from curdling when added. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 23cm square tin or 25 x 20cm baking tin and line with baking parchment.
• Beat the eggs and vanilla into the cooled butter and sugar mixture until well-combined. Sieve in the flour and baking powder, then gently fold until you have a smooth batter. Fold in the white chocolate, then scrape into the prepared tin. Smooth the top and bake for 40-45 mins until the edges are coming away from the sides of the tin, the top has a papery crust and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with a few crumbs, but no liquid batter. The blondies will firm up as they cool.
• Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The blondies will keep in an airtight container for three days.
