Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole pecans
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups light-brown sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until fragrant, 6 to 7 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter, then dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together butter and 2 cups brown sugar until combined. Add eggs; whisk until combined. Add vanilla and rum. Fold in flour mixture with a spatula until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in half of nuts.
Transfer batter to prepared dish; smooth top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle top with remaining nuts and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bake until golden around edges and a tester inserted in center comes out with very few crumbs, 22 to 24 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting into squares. Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
Variations
If you’d rather not use rum, increase the amount of vanilla to 4 teaspoons.

I get many requests to keep making these. They are rich and delicious. The perfect blend of sweet, butter and nuts. Very easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly except for the rum. I just added 1 extra teaspoon of vanilla.

These were perfect, not too sweet, not too moist, not too thin, excellent just as written. I let them cool completely and then cut them into diamonds. The only change I made was to use 1 tablespoon vanilla, simply because I make my own using rum as the base. No other changes made or necessary.

These blondies are sooooo good. I made 1/2 a recipe in an 8X8 inch pan and didn't think they were too thin. (They needed less time in the oven, ~18 min) I don't think brownie dough usually contains leavener. Both texture and flavor are great.

These blondies are absolutely wonderful — perfectly balanced, rich, and delicious! I added about 10 minutes to the baking time (total baking time for me was closer to 32 minutes) because they still looked quite jiggly at 22 minutes. I also used dark brown sugar instead of light brown, which I think added to the flavor. There is no leavening and I believe that is intentional. These bars are meant to be dense and rich. I will definitely be making these again!

I thought I would never see the day when a cookie or bar was too buttery and sweet! I followedt I follow directions closely. Product not edible as a “bar” but o.k. as a buttery “mash” or “pudding”. Agree with earlier post, someone forgot the baking powder or baking soda!

I made these bars for my husband and he loved them. They turned out exactly as described by Sarah in the accompanying video to this recipe. Fast to make, delicious to eat!

The by-line of this recipe is “Raising the bar”. What a mischaracterization - should’ve been “Flat but flavorful”. Did you forget the baking powder and baking soda or intentionally omit it?
