- Light brown sugar, packed: 1 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
- Large eggs: 2
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Pistachios, roughly chopped: 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: Fold in the chopped pistachios. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Notes
- Store cooled blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
- Gently warm individual blondie squares in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to enhance their soft, chewy texture.
- Serve these delightful blondies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of extra pistachios for an elegant dessert.
- For the best blondies, avoid overmixing the batter after adding the flour to keep them tender and prevent a tough texture.
