Browned Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Blondies #Choctoberfest

#Choctoberfest is an annual recipe-sharing event. I'm joining other food bloggers from around the world to create delicious chocolate recipes. This year, over 70 bloggers are joining together for a week full of chocolate cakes, pies, cookies, puddings, tarts, candies, and more. Check out the #Choctoberfest welcome post to find out how to enter the amazing giveaway. 

It is amazing how sometimes the week flies by but the days seem so long. This week was quite a week. I always enjoy a good Friday treat though.  Makes the weekend just a bit more special. 

These browned butter dark chocolate chip blondies hit the spot and are so easy to put together.  The kids are a bit confused. Cookies but Brownie squares.  In the end they don't really care as long as it is sweet and delicious. 

I hope you enjoy them as much as the kids did.

Browned Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Blondies

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Keywords: bake dessert chocolate bar

6077839

Ingredients (serves 9)

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 scant cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 cup dark chocolate chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.

Make the browned butter. In a large skillet add the butter and heat over medium heat to melt, stirring nearly continuously or swirling the pan. Butter will melt, foam, turn clear, golden, and then turn brown, with a nutty smell. As soon at the butter begins to turn brown and there are a few brown specks, take the pan off the heat, and pour butter into a large bowl. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes before adding the next ingredients.

Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.

Add the flour, salt, and stir until just combined. Don't over mix.

Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.

Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula, and bake for about 20 minutes, or until top is set in center and done; don't over bake.

Place pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
