Scale
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (165g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup (80g) black sesame paste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined and the mixture is light and creamy. Mix in the black sesame paste until well incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan using a bench scraper. The batter will be quite sticky. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan and cut them into squares.
