Blondies

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 cup packed brown sugar, dark or light

1 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup chocolate or white chocolate chips

1/2 cup pecan pieces, lightly toasted

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 8x8 baking pan. In a large bowl, mix together butter
and brown sugar. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and
salt. Set aside. To brown sugar mixture, whisk in egg and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture and stir until
completely combined. Stir in chips and nuts. Pour batter into pan. Bake for 20 or more minutes. Cool
completely on wire rack. Cut into 6, 9 or 16 pieces.
Notes in the Margin:
If you want an all-blonde Blondie, use the white chocolate chips with macadamia nuts. Personally, I
like them best with 1 full cup of lighty toasted pecan pieces and no chips.
