These Chocolate Chip Blondies are one of my favorite desserts to make when I want something easy but still really good. They have that soft, buttery texture with lots of melted chocolate in every bite, and honestly they remind me a lot of chocolate chip cookies without all the extra work of scooping dough.

What I love most about this recipe is how simple it is. Everything mixes together in one bowl, there’s no mixer needed, and the batter comes together in just a few minutes. Then all you have to do is spread it into the pan and bake.

The brown sugar gives these blondies that rich buttery flavor that makes them hard to stop eating. The centers stay soft and slightly fudgy while the edges turn lightly golden. They’re perfect for dessert, snacks, bake sales, or those random moments when you just want something homemade and chocolatey fast.

Why You Will Love This Chocolate Chip Blondies Recipe

These Chocolate Chip Blondies are soft, buttery, and packed with chocolate chips.

They have the same flavor people love in chocolate chip cookies but with a much easier method.

The texture stays soft in the center with slightly chewy edges, which is probably my favorite part.

Another reason this recipe works so well is because you only need simple pantry ingredients and one bowl.

They also bake faster than making multiple batches of cookies, which I honestly appreciate anytime I’m craving dessert late in the evening.

What You Will Need for this Chocolate Chip Blondies

An 8×8 baking pan works best for thick blondies with soft centers.

Parchment paper makes removing and slicing the blondies easier.

A whisk and mixing bowl are all you need since no mixer is required.

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ⅔ cup dark brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

How to Make Chocolate Chip Blondies

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.

Melt the butter gently until just melted but not too hot.

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined and glossy.

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold everything together gently until almost combined.

Reserve a small handful of chocolate chips for the top, then fold the rest into the batter.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 23–28 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center looks just set.

Let the blondies cool before slicing into squares.

Tips

Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added because it can make the blondies less soft.

Using an extra egg yolk helps give these blondies their soft and slightly fudgy texture.

For cleaner slices, let the blondies cool fully before cutting.

If you like extra chocolate, you can add a mix of milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips.

These taste really good slightly warm with vanilla ice cream too.
