Chocolate Chip Blondies – These deliciously thick and chewy blondies are stuffed full of chocolate chips, big on flavour, and have that irresistible crinkly top!
Chocolate Chip Blondies
Today, I’ve updated an old favourite with new photos, a video, and a slightly adjusted recipe. This blondie recipe is seriously the best in my opinion, and I think you’re gonna love them too.
These blondies are deliciously thick and SO chewy, they’re loaded with chocolate chips, and they are BIG on flavour.
I’ve used all brown sugar in this recipe to give these blondies a deep caramelized flavour – so good!

Ingredients you’ll need
Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these blondies. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.
- Unsalted butter
- Light brown sugar: Using all brown sugar gives these blondies an incredible caramelized flavour!
- Large egg + large egg yolk
- Vanilla extract
- Plain/all-purpose flour
- Salt
- Chocolate chips: You can use milk, dark, or semi-sweet.
How to Make Chocolate Chip Blondies
To make these chewy blondies, simply grab a large mixing bowl, and whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and whisk until smooth and combined. Add the flour and salt, whisk until completely combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the batter evenly into an 8×8-inch square baking pan lined with foil or parchment paper, and bake for 35 – 40 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the centre is no longer jiggly – just set.
Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
The printable recipe card with the full list of ingredients, their measurements, and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.
NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
These Chocolate Chip Blondies are:
- incredibly thick and chewy
- so quick and easy to throw together
- full of flavour
- loaded with chocolate chips
How long will these chocolate chip blondies last? These blondies will keep fresh stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Can I freeze these blondies? Yes! They also freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, and allow to come to room temperature if desired before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and I am quite experienced at baking but this recipe unfortunately didn’t work. They were over cooked (and that was with removing them at 35 mins). I did question the time to begin with as most Blondie recipes are to bake for 25 mins but I chose to trust the recipe. They were not thick, they were thin. They tasted yummy but were not Blondies. They were not fudgey in the middle and were more like cookie bars. We still ate them and enjoyed them but disappointed that they weren’t Blondies.
Very simple and good, needed something to try homemade caramel sauce on, and the combination was a big hit. Only used a cup of sugar, and non dairy butter.
I love blondies but it’s been way too long since I baked some! These are calling my name!! Looks so yum!
Thanks, Ami!
