Preheat the oven to 325°F. For easier cutting, line an 8X8 baking pan with a foil sling by folding 2 sheets lengthwise and placing in the pan perpendicular to each other. Press into corners and up sides and then spray with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, liberally spray an 8X8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Add in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
7 tablespoons melted butter,, 1 cup light brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons milk or non-dairy milk, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Stir in the gluten free flour, salt, and baking powder until no flour pockets remain. Stir in ¾ cup chocolate chips.
1 ¾ cup gluten free all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips,
Spread the batter in the prepared pan and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips. Bake for 37-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
For best results, let the bars cool for 1-2 hours in the pan before lifting out by the foil handles to cut into bars. Store cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes
Best tips / modifications
Gluten-free blondies recipe may be adapted for a variety of flavors and add-ins. Stir in chopped nuts, peanut butter chips, butterscotch (read label for GF), or white chocolate chips instead, or in addition to, the chocolate.
For a sweet and salty twist, sprinkle on flaky sea salt before baking.
I know it's tempting to dive in right away, but the blondies will set up better as they cool. For best results, cool for 2 hours before slicing into bars.
For longer storage, wrap bars securely with plastic wrap and place in ziplock freezer bag. Freeze up to 3 months.
