Dry Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- pinch of ground nutmeg
- 1–1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1–1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, room temperature
Add-ins
- 1 cup toffee pieces
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- Prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil and lightly spray the bottom and sides with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the room temperature butter on medium-high speed until it turns pale. Add the white granulated sugar and packed light brown sugar, then continue mixing on medium-high until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl sides as necessary to ensure even mixing. Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly.
- Add eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the sugar-butter mixture, mixing on medium speed after each addition until fully combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: Lower the mixer speed to low and slowly add the salt, ground nutmeg, all-purpose flour, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Mix just until the ingredients are barely combined.
- Fold in toffee and chocolate chips: Remove the mixing bowl from the stand mixer. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the toffee pieces and milk chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Spread batter: Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan. Wet your fingertips with water and use them to spread the sticky dough evenly across the pan for a uniform thickness.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the blondies for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with no raw batter (a few moist crumbs are fine). Take care not to overbake to keep the bars moist and chewy.
- Cool and cut: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan for 2 to 3 hours so they set properly. Once fully cooled, lift them out using the foil and cut into squares of your preferred size.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for better mixing and a smoother batter.
- Do not overbake to keep the blondies moist and chewy; check at 20 minutes.
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor if desired.
- To make clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it off between cuts.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
