Chocolate Walnut Blondies… need I say more?

Chocolate Walnut Blondies Recipe:

It’s Sunday afternoon and time to bake! I had everything on hand for these so I though, Why Not? The last time I was at Sam’s I bought a big bag of walnuts. I keep nuts in the freezer to extend their shelf life. Nuts have oil in them, and the oil can turn the nuts bad quicker in the pantry. I love keeping walnuts and pecans on hand at all times.

Nuts are pretty interchangeable in recipes, so use what you have on hand.

Chocolate Walnut Blondies Ingredients:

1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1 cup chopped walnuts

How To Make Chocolate Walnut Blondies:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rub an 8-inch square baking pan with butter.

2. Rub an 8-inch square baking pan with butter.

3. With a mixer, beat butter and sugars until smooth. Whisk in egg and vanilla. Add flour and salt; mix just until moistened (do not overmix). Fold in 1/2 cup each chocolate chips and walnuts (I added them all…OOPS) Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth the top. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips and walnuts (all of mine went IN the batter).

4. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth the top. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips and walnuts (all of mine went IN the batter).

5. Bake until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.

6. Set pan on a wire rack and let cool completely.

7. Cut into squares.

Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 2 days.

Enjoy!
