Comments:
If you like brownies, but want something a little different than a chocolate treat, try these Blondies. The dark brown sugar will give you an especially flavorful blondie.

Ingredients:
4 oz. (8 tbsp.) unsalted butter
1-1/2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
5 oz. (1 cup plus 2 tbsp.) all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
2 oz. (3/4 cup) coarsely chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
Butter, for greasing pan

Instructions:
Position an oven rack on the middle rung. Heat the oven to 350°F. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the butter and brown sugar, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute longer (the mixture will bubble but should not boil). Set the pan aside to cool for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, butter an 8-inch square pan, line the pan bottom with parchment (or waxed paper), and then butter the parchment. Stir the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla into the cooled sugar mixture. Add the flour, salt, and nuts, stirring just until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the center is springy when touched (the top may still look doughy) and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (it's fine if there are a few moist crumbs clinging to it), 25 to 35 minutes.

Set the pan on a rack until it's cool enough to handle. Run a paring knife around the inside edge of the pan and then invert the pan onto a flat surface and peel off the parchment. Flip the baked brownie back onto the rack to cool completely. Cut into squares with a sharp knife.

Makes 16 (2-inch) squares.

Notes:
This recipe can be doubled easily. Use a 13X9-inch pan and increase the baking time slightly.

The recipe gives a range of baking times, use the shorter time for metal pans; the longer for Pyrex glass pans.

OMG this is sesational!It was the first time that i tried blondies and being a very fudgey person I was afraid they they might have been too cakey, but hey I WAS WRONG!!..lol I had to prepare them for my mother in law's birthday but I finished them off before even getting there...Seriously PERFECT nice, gooey with a sweet buttersotch taste. Though i didnt have the dark brown sugar, so i used the soft brown sugar and it worked out great but next time (as there will be many more nexts) i ll give the dark brown sugar a try. These blondies have become my new ever favourite THANK YOU!!..and you out there, you gotta try them!

I was a little worried when making these brownies because there was no leavening in them. However, they were wonderful, chewy and my department loved them.

I just finished baking the blonde brownies because I have a friend who does not care for chocolate. I was a little worried because there was no leavening in them, but " no worries" they look wonderful. They are very sweet, so a small piece goes a long way.

I prepared the blondies with dark brown sugar this time and I must say they were no so sucessful with me as those preapred with brown sugar. I will certainly prepare again these wonderful blondies but definitly with brown sugar instead.

These are amazing, all the people at work want this recipe. This is by far the best dessert website online. Blondies pair exceptionally with espresso roast!
