05 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
06 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

→ Blondie Layer
09 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

13 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
14 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
15 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
16 - 1/3 cup chopped pecans (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 8-inch square baking pans with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then stir until just combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and packed brown sugar, whisking until creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. Fold in flour and salt until just combined. Stir in white chocolate chips and pecans if using.
04 - Pour each batter into the prepared pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
05 - Bake both pans for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
06 - Allow the baked layers to cool completely in the pans on a wire rack. Use the parchment overhang to lift out the slabs and cut each into 12 squares.
07 - Arrange brownie and blondie squares together on a platter and present for serving.
