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.

Ingredients needed:

• unsalted butter
• brown sugar
• vanilla extract
• egg
• all-purpose flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• salt
• chocolate chips

Instructions:

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.

Storing:

Since these cookie bars are soft and chewy (thanks to melted butter and brown sugar), I recommend storing them in a container with lid. They will keep the texture and not dry out.
