Blondies!


This recipe is really easy. The hardest part is probably the stirring. These are very sweet blondies but so yummy! I got about 15 squares but I cut generous portions :) but it all depends on preference. Let's get baking!

Ingredients
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsps vanilla 
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 six ounce package (1 cup) chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts etc. (optional)
  • *1 pinch of salt (optional; cuts down sweetness)
Instructions


1.  Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan; set aside (highly suggest doing first) and preheat oven to 350°F.

2.  In a medium sauce pan heat brown sugar and butter *put butter in first, let melt then add the sugar* Stir constantly, until sugar dissolves, cool slightly



3.  Stir in eggs one at a time, and add vanilla (my favorite).

4.  Next, stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and *salt (optional).



5.  Mix until combined. Should be the color of caramel.



6.  Spread batter into prepared pan. Pat batter into corners to avoid grease from combining with the batter.




7.  Sprinkle with toppings. 



8.  Put in oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until fully baked. Best when cooled for 20 minutes. Enjoy! 



Hope you give this recipe a try!

  5. Erika, I enjoyed reading your "how to bake blondies". Your directions were clear but precise. I'm still not 100% sure what a blondie is. Is it a brownie that isn't brown?
