Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Step 4: Fold in the chopped pistachios.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- For a warm, gooey treat, reheat individual blondies briefly in the microwave or oven.
- Serve these pistachio blondies alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra decadent dessert.
- To prevent overmixing and tough blondies, gently fold in the pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
