# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 8-inch square baking pans with parchment paper, allowing excess for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring until just combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
03 - In a separate bowl, blend melted butter and packed brown sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. Fold in flour and salt until combined. Stir in white chocolate chips and pecans if desired.
04 - Pour brownie batter into one prepared pan and blondie batter into the other, smoothing surfaces with a spatula.
05 - Bake both pans for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges with a few moist crumbs.
06 - Allow to cool completely in pans on a wire rack. Lift cakes using parchment overhang and slice each into 12 squares.
07 - Arrange brownie and blondie squares attractively on a serving platter and enjoy.
