Chocolate Chip Blondies Recipe – buttery cookie bars loaded with chocolate chips. Quick and easy to make, no mixer needed!

Dessert bars are one of the easiest ways to make a treat in no time. Our favorites are Coconut Pineapple Crumb Bars, Gingerbread Cookie Bars and Coconut Cheesecake Bars. When you are craving a gooey melt-in-your-mouth dessert and need it fast, blondies are the way to go. It’s the easiest recipe for cookie bars. You will love the butterscotch flavor alongside the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

These Chocolate Chip Blondies are a one-bowl, no-mixer dessert that you will be making over and over. The buttery and gooey texture and lots of chocolate chips make them totally irresistible! Serve still slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a la mode treat.

WHAT ARE BLONDIES BARS?

Blondies are similar in texture to brownies but do not contain cocoa powder or chocolate. They have a butterscotch flavor thanks to the mixture of brown sugar and butter. Some say it is a bar version of chocolate chip cookies, however unlike the cookies, typically blondies do not have granulated sugar but only brown sugar.

HOW TO MAKE BLONDIES BARS?

Blondies are very simple to make. You only need a bowl and a wooden spoon or spatula to make the dough. No mixer needed! Simply, stir together melted butter and brown sugar. Add vanilla and egg and stir until the egg is incorporated. Add the dry ingredients and stir together. The dough should be thick and sticky. You can add chocolate chips, lemon zest and white chocolate, any chocolate candy, pretzels or swirl in caramel sauce or fudge sauce. Bake until the edges are puffed up and the top looks dry but the center wiggles when you shake the pan gently. Let the bars cool completely before cutting.
