Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 4 oz unsalted butter, melted and browned
- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 2½ tbsp bourbon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into chunks
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the browned butter with brown sugar, bourbon, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
- Add the egg and egg yolk, whisking until fully combined and slightly thickened.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chunks.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center has just set. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t skip browning the butter — it adds incredible depth of flavor!
- Let the blondies cool before cutting to ensure clean slices.
- Try swapping bourbon for dark rum or omit entirely if preferred.
- Use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chunks for an extra gooey bite.
