Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups packed light-brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (about 4 ounces)
- 1 cup toffee bits
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper; butter and flour parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the butter until it turns golden brown; remove from heat, and let cool. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine browned butter and both sugars; stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Attach bowl to mixer; add eggs. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla, and beat to combine. Add flour mixture, walnuts, and toffee bits. Mix until thoroughly combined, and pour into prepared pan.
Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes (do not overbake). Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before turning out of pan onto a cutting board. Peel off parchment paper; cut blondies into 3-inch squares or into suit shapes with 1 1/2- to 2-inch cookie cutters. Just before serving, dust half with confectioners’ sugar, if desired.
Cook's Notes
Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

I've been on a "brown butter" kick lately and made this yesterday Overall, a very good dessert but a little too sweet for me. Next time, I will reduce the brown sugar by 1/2 cup. The 13x9" pan was just right and I got more than 12 servings because the slices were smaller (due to the sweetness).

These are the blondies on which all other blondies should be judged. The texture is fabulously chewy (do not bake these looking for a cakey blondie) and the browned butter flavor is beyond amazing. The nuts and toffee add the perfect crunch. Make sure you take the take to prepare the pan and don't skip the parchment paper. I promise they are worth it. After making them once, they became a permanent fixture in my dessert repertoire.

So yummy!! I loved the flavor of these bars! I halved the recipe and did alter it quite a bit but the taste was really great. I left out the walnuts and did not cut out shapes. These are great! I put it in an 8 inch square pan and cut it into 12 pieces and baked it at 350 for 30 minutes. They are great warm, I am thinking of pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream......

Browning unsalted butter is more tricky than salted butter. With salted butter, there are more solids to fall out. This makes it easier to gauge when you have actually reached the browned stage.

Hello Jeannette B Toffeebits are tiny crisp chips and I think they are made of butter and maybe brown sugar. They are small, hard and crunchy when eaten. They are sold in a bag like chocolate chips . You can order them online..check out the brand SKOR toffee chips. I hope this helps.

These are so delicious, the brown butter really is a wonderful taste in this. They are sweet to be sure, but no more than I expected.

I make these all the time and they are delicious and yes sweet (but wonderful!). When I tried browning the butter on the stove, I did not have much success. I now do this: I place the butter in chunks into a light colored enameled casserole dish and place in the oven while it is preheating. I check it often, but usually the butter starts turning golden brown at about the same time the oven is heated to temp. Use care when taking it out of the oven so it doesn't spill.

This is an excellent recipe. The brown butter lends an amazing, nutty, flavor. I used dry roasted almonds bits instead of the walnuts (that's all I had) and they gave the bars an outstanding flavor and crunch. I doubled the recipe since I was making these for a large group and it doubled just fine. These were actually too sweet and buttery for me, but what a problem to have! Thank you Martha.

These are delicious! I'll try cutting back on the butter next time. Mine came out a little greasy. It does take FOREVER to get the butter to brown up. I was paranoid I'd burn it, so I started out on Medium heat then turned it up to Med-High after about 7 minutes. Chocolate covered toffee bits are OK but not as noticeable as chocolate chips.

In response to Marty: To make these more healthier, you could also use 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 1/4 cup white flour, instead of all white flour. I am going to make them with all whole wheat flour. Also less sugar. l teaspoon salt. Boy, I just changed the whole recipe.

There are 4 sticks of butter in a pound or 4 sticks in a 454 gram package. So each stick should be approxmiately 115 grams, therefore 21/2 sticks should be about 280 - 285 grams.

1 stick equals 113grams. Therefore this receipe needs 282.5 grams butter !

My daughter is allergic to tree nuts, but these look delicious. Do you think it would greatly affect the end result if I ommitted them, and perhaps added a little more nut-free toffee? (Some manufactured brands contain almonds.)

I have never even heard of brown butter before...these were wonderful! I added extra toffee chips (to use up the bag) and extra walnuts too. I thought about chocolate chips, but thought that would change the great toffee/nut taste. My baking powder was outdated and I made a special trip to the store to get fresh! I let the butter cool while I went to the store, and they were perfect.

YUM!!! Made these today and the aroma was amazing. Didn't add the nuts but used Heath Toffee Bits. Had 1 (or 2) bars this evening with a glass of Vin Santo wine and it was divine.
I love the recipes!!!!! My husband is diabetic and really would like to see the calorie count as well as the carbs, fats, protien ect. Thanks

I haven't made these cookies yet, but ...just by looking at the recipe, there is way,way too much sugar for my taste. Sugar is the #1 ingredient. Also, way too much fat. As one reader said, " You don't eat them everyday".

There are 4 sticks of butter in a pound or 4 sticks in a 454 gram package. So each stick should be approxmiately 115 grams, therefore 21/2 sticks should be about 280 - 285 grams.
1 stick equals 113grams. Therefore this receipe needs 282.5 grams butter !
Good luck
Well, I just re-read the previous comment, so I guess I was just repeating information already given. So much for helping! Sorry!!
One stick of butter equals 1/2 cup. Sorry, I don't know what the weight is, but I hope that helps! :)
as i am in Australia we don't have stick's of butter as you do how much is that in weight.
hildaandrews~~~check the amount of butter again~~it is 1 1/4 cups of butter, not 2 1/2 cups (it is 2 1/2 sticks of 1/2 cup each)---going to try these today--they look delicious.
Does anyone know if these can be frozen?
has anyone tried it w/chocolate covered toffee bits? just curious to see how that would turn out.

No way! I've made them both ways (with and w.out nuts)
My daughter is allergic to tree nuts, but these look delicious. Do you think it would greatly affect the end result if I ommitted them, and perhaps added a little more nut-free toffee? (Some manufactured brands contain almonds.)
I think they are great! Lots of butter but you don't eat them every day!!
Are you kidding? 2-1/2 cups of butter for 12 cookies. Do you realize how much butter would be in one cookie? Surely this is an error.

I was having trouble finding toffee bits at the grocery store, so I just made toffee following Martha's recipe of 3 cups sugar and 3 cups butter. Very easy to do and turned out fabulous!

They are easy and taste so sinful! I made them last week for a scrapbooking party and everyone was impressed that I made a "Martha Stewart" recipe":) I did as karlanee suggested

I've baked just about everything under the sun, but this is my first time making "Blondies." They are in the oven, so...........the jury is still out. However, everything you've ever published has been top notch, and my starting point for many a signature creation.

These are so incredible. I can't wait to make these again and add chocolate chips too! They are worth every bit of butter and sugar in them! Definitely a hit at my house.

I have never even heard of brown butter before...these were wonderful! I added extra toffee chips (to use up the bag) and extra walnuts too. I thought about chocolate chips, but thought that would change the great toffee/nut taste. My baking powder was outdated and I made a special trip to the store to get fresh! I let the butter cool while I went to the store, and they were perfect.

I too added chocolate chips and left out the walnuts. I wonder though, if I let the butter cool enough. Is it supposed to be cooled cold? Or just not steaming anymore?

These were amazing!! I added 3/4 c. chocolate chips and omitted the walnuts... yummy! I love the taste of browned butter, these are simply divine.
