When we were in the middle of our move (which was almost a year ago — INSANE), my friend Mary of Barefeet in the Kitchen released her first cookbook. She was kind enough to send me a copy, knowing that I probably wouldn’t give it the love it deserved. I was living Monday – Friday without Ben because he had already started his job across the state. I was packing boxes, keeping the house in a ready-to-show state, running my business, and taking care of my kids, then 3- and 5-years-old. Mary and I are good enough friends for me to say that the book pretty much went straight into a box after a quick flip through the pages. She knows I still love her.
So, I finally pulled The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook out (off the shelves — I promise, it’s been out of the box for a long time). And now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner! This cookbook rocks. It’s SO up our alley here at Rachel Cooks…you guys, if you love my quick and easy recipes, you’re going to adore this book.
It’s divided into 6 sections (commentary is mine):
- 15-25 Minute Meals (WOOHOO!)
- 30-45 Minute Meals (I can handle that!)
- 5-10 Minute Prep – Meals Cook on Their Own (A dream come true!)
- Simple Side Dishes (lots of roasted vegetables here, so you know I’m on board)
- Condiments and Spices (if you love my homemade taco seasoning, you’ll love this section of the book)
- Stress-Free Desserts (that’s where you’ll find these blondies)
It’s like Mary wrote this book just for me. But I know she didn’t, because who doesn’t love to cook quick and easy meals?
These chocolate chip blondies called my name right away. Baking isn’t my strongest suit (I can whip up a quick dinner out of almost anything in the fridge though), so I always jump at the chance to follow a recipe when it comes to baking. These chocolate chip blondies are so easy to make and my family loooooves them.
Other recipes I can’t wait to try in this book are Sweet Chipotle Chicken Bites, Korean Beef with Quick Asian Pickles, Fish Tacos with Jalapeño Lime Sauce, Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf, Cajun Roasted Potatoes, Lemon Lover’s Pound Cake, and Cinnamon Toast Cake.
Just look at those chocolate chip blondies! So perfect. The blondies are dense, rich and moist with the perfect crackly top. The edge pieces get almost caramelized and slightly chewy. They’re completely irresistible.
I’m telling you guys — you need this recipe in your life. And you need the book, too! (Buy it here)

Store in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long!). They are better fresh, though.

Chocolate Chip Blondies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and stir to combine. Stir in flour and salt, just until combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips, reserving a couple of tablespoons to sprinkle on top if desired.
- Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs. The blondies will be slightly browned around the edges. Cool for at least 20 minutes in the pan before lifting the blondies out by the parchment paper. Set on a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing and storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a double batch, double all ingredients and bake in a 9×13 pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Store them at room temperature for best texture (unless it’s very warm in your house) for up to a week. Will keep in the freezer for up to two months.

Did You Make This?Share a comment and rating below! I love hearing what you think!
I wanted to love these, but they were very mushy and I followed the recipe to a T. I love the ease of this, but felt like it either needed to be baked in a larger dish or needed baking powder or something.
They are a fudgy type blondie. Sorry you didn’t love them!
I doubled the recipe and used a 9×13 pan . They came out tasting delicious but were very thin. I expected them to be thicker . I will def use a smaller pan next time. The flavor was def there. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the review!
They are delicious and so much less work than making cookies! They are moist and taste like a fresh, moist chocolate chip cookie. I cut them into 24 small blondies.
So glad you liked them! Thank you for leaving a review!
These are really good and very simple. Can I double the recipe and use a 9×13 pan.
So glad you like them! They’re one of my favorites too.
Oh sorry I missed your question – yes, you can double and use a 9×13. I typically do!
Brilliant recipe, very easy and quick! I panic baked this and everyone loved it. It was a good one as I had everything I needed in the cupboard.
So glad you liked them!
