Big Hit Blondies
 Click to enlarge | Ingredients: Metric Units 1/2 c. butter, softened
2 c. light brown sugar, packed 2 eggs 1 1/2 c. flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla 1 c. chocolate chips (or nuts) |
Directions:
When we made these chewy, sweet, rich squares for my son's Sunday School class, he insisted we rename the recipe to "Big Hit Blondies."
(You often see blondies with walnuts or pecans; I've substituted chocolate chips - seems like a lot of folks, especially small fry, are squirrelly about nuts. Well, you know what I mean.)
Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs.
Sift together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt.
Gradually add in the dry ingredients. Then add vanilla. Stir in chips. Or nuts. or M&Ms or whatever strikes your fancy. But don't use those crispy M & M's - they dissolve all to nothing in the oven leaving nothing but funny colored holes. More's the pity.
Spread the batter evenly in a 9x13 pan.
Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
We baked a batch of these for my neice's birthday party...Fifteen minutes later, there was nothing but crumbs left. A big hit!
