Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Add butter to a heavy bottom saucepan. Cook over medium heat while stirring continually. As the butter melts down, foam will begin to form. As soon as you can see golden brown flecks at the bottom of your saucepan and smell a nutty, aromatic aroma, remove the butter from the heat and transfer to a bowl. The whole process should take about 5 minutes. Set aside and allow the brown butter to cool.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk together brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a separate large bowl. Once combined, add in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and whisk together. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix together with a rubber spatula just until the flour is fully incorporated. The dough will be very thick.
  • Transfer dough to the parchment lined baking pan and spread out evenly. Add caramel on top and smooth.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes until the dough has set and caramel has been baked into the cookies (no caramel is pooling on top). Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Notes

Freezer storage: Store baked cookies in the freezer for up to 3 months. Place in an airtight container in between parchment paper.
Want your blondies to have a salted caramel taste? Sprinkle some Maldon sea salt flakes on top after the cookies have finished baking.
