BROWN BUTTER APRICOT WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with baking spray or butter; line with a sheet of parchment paper long enough to extend up both sides (so you can use them as "handles" to remove the baked bars). Grease parchment paper with baking spray or butter.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, 5 to 8 minutes until butter foams, then turns a deep caramel color. Remove from heat and add to a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer along with brown sugar.
• Beat brown sugar and butter on medium speed 1 minute until smooth. Allow mixture to cool slightly, then add egg and vanilla; beat until combined. Add flour and salt; stir to combine. Gently stir in chopped dried apricots and white chocolate chips.
• Pour and spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan. Bake 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from baking pan (using parchment paper "handles") and cutting into bars.

BROWN BUTTER BLONDIES

Steps:

• 1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish and set aside.
• 2. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until the water evaporates and the milk solids turn golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• 3. Stir butter into brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth; cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Whisk eggs and vanilla into sugar mixture. Add flour mixture a bit at a time and mix until a smooth thick batter forms. Fold in chips, as desired.
• 4. Evenly spread batter into prepared dish. Bake until blondies are light brown around edges and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from oven; cool slightly. Invert onto a rack to release; cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.

BROWN BUTTER BLONDIES

Steps:

• First, brown the butter: Place it in a medium saucepan over low heat to cook. Check it after about 10 minutes; it should be a medium-brown color (not too light, not too burned). Once it reaches that color, take it off the heat and let it cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cooled brown butter and brown sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Fold in the walnuts and white chocolate chips.
• Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake the blondies for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs stuck to it (I like these blondies gooey, so I go with a little less time). Let cool completely on a wire rack, then cut them and wrap individually in plastic wrap so the sides don't dry out. Store in the freezer or at room temperature.

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND PECAN BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla.
• Whisk in the eggs one at a time until well combined.
• Using a large metal spoon, fold in the flour, salt, chocolate chips, and pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the middle is just set. Don't be tempted to bake them for longer than that, or you won't get gooey centers. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan.
• Turn the blondies out onto a cutting board and cut into 9 squares. Enjoy warm, or cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Melt the butter and white chocolate together over low heat in a saucepan. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly. Meanwhile beat eggs with sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl; mix in the butter mixture, and stir in the flour and salt until thoroughly combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared baking pan; sprinkle with white chocolate chips.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before cutting into bars.

EASY CHOCOLATE-APRICOT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan generously with cooking spray.
• Mix oil, water, and eggs together in a bowl. Stir in brownie mix until just moistened. Spread 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
• While brownies are baking, warm apricot jam in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Remove brownies from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over top. Spread warm jam over the entire surface. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the surface of the jam.
• Return to the oven and continue to bake until edges are dry but brownies still look slightly underdone, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
