Ingredients

10 tablespoons salted butter melted
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup pecans optional
1/2 cup white chocolate chips optional

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, add butter to the pan. Melt and brown butter for about 3-4 minutes, until it has turned a more golden color and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9x13 glass pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to mix together browned, cooled butter and sugar.
Add in eggs and vanilla, and mix until combined.
Add in salt, baking powder, and flour, and mix until just combined.
Fold in white chocolate chips and nuts (optional additions).
Pour blondie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven when done. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

We prefer a thinner blondie, which is why we use a 9x13 baking dish. However, you can always use an 8x8, 9x9, or 11x7 pan to give you a thicker blondie. You will need to increase the bake time to 55-60 minutes total if using one of these other pan sizes.
