Chocolate Chip Blondies

Well these were a huge hit. I took these to dinner with my neighbors Paul and Alexis, and they were gone within a day, between the three of us. I found the recipe because I wanted to bake something to take over at the very last minute and my requirements were that I had everything in the cupboards and that they baked quickly. I had this one pinned on Pinterest and after frantically searching through multiple recipes hoping to find "the one," I came across these. BOOM. I had found it. I'm so glad I finally tried it too - you cannot get a dessert recipe much simpler than this one. It's essentially making one giant chocolate chip cookie, cutting it up, and sharing it with your friends. I highly recommend trying it and that you start keeping chocolate chips in your cupboard, in case of baking emergencies like this one!




Baking Notes: I didn't have enough chocolate chips, so I just improvised with what I had. Still turned out great!

Chocolate Chip Blondies (adapted from Taste of Home; makes 16)
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla until just blended. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the brown sugar mixture, then stir in chocolate chips. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then cut into bars!
