White Chocolate Blondies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 225g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
02 - 340g light brown or demerara sugar
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 285g plain (all-purpose) flour

→ Add-ins

05 - 100g white chocolate chips

→ Optional Topping

06 - Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 23cm square baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring paper extends up the sides for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the sugar and eggs until well incorporated.
03 - Slowly stream the cooled melted butter into the sugar-egg mixture, stirring continuously to combine.
04 - Add flour to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will become quite thick.
05 - Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
06 - Pour batter into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top for flavor contrast.
07 - Bake in preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, until edges are set and the top is lightly golden with a slightly crackled appearance.
08 - Insert a knife or toothpick into the center - it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
09 - Allow blondies to cool completely in the tin. Once cooled, lift out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 9 equal squares.

# Notes:

01 - These blondies will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
02 - For a more complex flavor profile, consider using browned butter instead of simply melted butter.
