Nothing gets more buttery, nutty and toasty than these thick brown butter blondies with macadamia nuts and white chocolate chunks.
I don’t think I ever could turn down a brownie. All that rich, decadent goodness is impossible to resist.
Chocolate is my dessert ingredient of choice, and something is just unbelievably satisfying about a no-fuss, fudgy square.
Brownies or any bar cookie are a cinch for last minute baking. They require maybe 2 bowls max. Also, there’s usually no waiting for butter to get to room temperature.
When my sweet tooth is in overdrive and I don’t have any treats on-hand, I always reach for a square or rectangular pan.
Portioning out individual cookies on baking sheets is just too complicated. It involves multiple rounds in the oven to work through all that dough.
They may be simple, but bar cookies deliver on flavor for an indulgent craving. Plus they are easily transported to a potluck or friend’s house.
If given the choice between brownie or blondie, I would typically choose a brownie without much hesitation. Again, I have an obsession with chocolate.
This time I went for its pale cousin instead.
I baked a batch of brown butter blondies with a couple key additions. Blondies need other things mixed in. A brownie can stand on its own.
Nuts are optional, but not with blondies.
I melted the butter in small skillet until it turned brown.
That extra effort with the butter gave the bars an unmistakable nuttiness that paired perfectly with pricey macadamia nuts. They were well worth the splurge.
Of course the nuts weren’t enough. I couldn’t resist throwing in chocolate, but I did stick to the light palette and used white chocolate chunks.
The bars were very buttery from the actual butter and the macadamia nuts.
They were less intense than chocolatey brownies; however, they still satisfied my sweet tooth.
I wasn’t the only one who was a fan. The blondies were gobbled up just as quickly as the usual brownies.
