• 115 g (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 200 g (1 cup) dark brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line a 20 cm (8 in) square tin with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides for lifting.

2. 2

   Whisk the melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth and glossy.

3. 3

   Add the egg and vanilla and whisk until fully blended.

4. 4

   Sift the flour, baking powder and salt over the bowl and fold with a spatula until no dry streaks remain.

5. 5

   Fold in most of the chocolate chips if using. The batter will be thick.

6. 6

   Scrape the batter into the tin and press it into an even layer. Scatter the remaining chocolate chips on top.

7. 7

   Bake until the top is set and golden and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, 20-25 min. Pull it out early rather than late, since overbaking makes blondies dry.

8. 8

   Cool in the tin on a wire rack for at least 45 min, then lift out by the parchment and cut into 16 squares.
