These Bourbon Chocolate Chip Blondies are a Derby-inspired dessert that combines rich caramel-like bourbon with chewy blondies and melty chocolate chips. Easy to make and perfect for parties or cozy nights at home.
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a square (8" x 8") baking dish with parchment paper, set aside
Mix together the melted butter and brown sugar until well-combined. Add in the egg, vanilla, bourbon, and salt and stir until smooth
Add in the flour, and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts
Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish, making sure to spread it out evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges look solid, but the center still looks soft. Cool completely, then lift the blondies out using the edges of the parchment paper as handles and slice into squares.
