Delicious, fudgy blondies with chunks of chocolate: finger-licking good. And with this recipe, they’re incredibly easy to make yourself.

Why This Recipe Works

With my basic blondie recipe, it’s not hard to come up with the tastiest variations, like these chocolate chip blondies. The combination of soft, fudgy blondies and crunchy chocolate chips is downright irresistible.

Ingredients You’ll Need

unsalted butter
light brown sugar – this adds to the fudginess of the blondies
eggs – always use medium unless otherwise noted
vanilla extract – I prefer homemade
salt
all-purpose flour – you can use regular or pastry flour
chocolate chips – I used milk chocolate, but you can use any type you like. Just keep in mind that using only white chocolate makes them very sweet.

Baking tip: I like to bake blondies in a square pan lined with parchment paper, with the paper extending well over two sides. This way it’s easy to lift it out once cooled down.

How To Make Chocolate Chip Blondies

Mix the melted butter with the sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one by one and mix with the vanilla extract. The last step is to add the flour and salt and mix until combined.

That’s it. No need to overmix. Add about a cup of chocolate chips to the batter and stir it through with a rubber spatula..

Place the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle some chocolate chips over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until cooked (see note below on how to know if they’re cooked). Let it cool completely in the pan.

Storing Chocolate Chip Blondies

Blondies are perfect for parties, celebrations, or sharing. You can easily make a large batch and freeze some for later.

How long do they stay fresh?

Keep them in an airtight container. They’ll stay good for 3-4 days at room temperature. In the fridge they may dry out.

Can you freeze blondies?

Absolutely. Cut them into squares first if you like, and wrap 2 pieces together so you don’t have to thaw the whole batch at once (unless you want to!). Sealed airtight, they keep for up to 3 months.

More Chocolate Chip Recipes

For me, chocolate chips fall into the same category as apples: an ingredient I love using in baked goods and never get tired of. And really, who doesn’t love chocolate? Try these other recipes with chocolate chips:

Which Chocolate Chips Work Best?

My go-to brand is Callebaut. Open my baking cabinet and you’ll find big jars filled with dark, milk, caramel, ruby, and white chocolate chips. They usually come in both large and small sizes (and of course, I keep both on hand).

Can I use dark brown sugar instead?

Preferably not. If that’s all you have, combine it with white sugar. For best results, use 175 g/6 oz light brown sugar and 175 g/6 oz granulated sugar.

Can I add nuts?

Definitely! Coarsely chop about 100 grams of roasted hazelnuts, pecans, or almonds and fold them in with the chocolate chips.

How do I know when they’re done?

The top should form a thin, crisp layer. The edges will be firm, but the center should still feel soft (not wobbly, though). They may look slightly underbaked – that’s exactly right. If you bake them too long, you’ll lose the fudginess.

Let the blondies cool completely, ideally overnight, covered in a cool place. That way they set properly and taste their best.
