Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, bourbon, and vanilla extract with the cooled brown butter. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Add one large egg and one egg yolk, mixing until fully combined but avoiding overmixing.
  5. Fold in the flour, cinnamon, and salt gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the toasted pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chunks evenly.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 24 minutes until edges are golden and center looks slightly wobbly.
  8. Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting and serving.
