Looking for a sweet potluck dish or perfect dessert for a birthday party? Here's your solution: sliceable, shareable Chocolate Chip Blondies made with vanilla and chocolate to please everyone's preferences. These best-ever bars are chewy, gooey and easy to make with just a handful pantry ingredients. If you're a fan of baking recipes and constantly keep your kitchen stocked with flour, brown sugar and vanilla extract, you can probably bake these treats without having to go to the store.

But wait—what's the difference between a brownie and a blondie? It's pretty simple. Brownies are flavored with chocolate while blondies are flavored with vanilla. While a brownie is a rich, delicious delight, a blondie tastes more like a cookie with the thick, chewy texture of a brownie. That's right—a blondie is basically the best of both worlds.

Now, on to our favorite blondie recipe. Here's how it's made:

Whisk together the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and sugars, followed by the egg and vanilla.
Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet, then fold in most of the chocolate chips.
Spread the batter into a baking dish and top with the remaining chocolate chips. This ensures that there are plenty of chocolate chips on the tops of each blondie for the most melty, irresistible presentation.
Bake until beginning to brown around the edges, let cool and enjoy!
