I followed this recipe exactly as written except for 3 thing. I added a tsp of maple extract in additon to the vanilla extract. I use it in my cookies and thought it would be great as well in these. I also was short on brown sugar so I used 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup regular white sugar. I also tend to like my brownies thicker so I used a 9 x 9 pan and then of course had to let them bake about an additional 10 minutes. Here in Colorado in high altitude i have problems w/ my baked goods not staying as soft, but since these are naturally soft they have been easier to keep fresh. I have made blonde brownies before and used other recipes but these are by far the best ones I've ever made.

I was going to submit my recipe for Blonde Borwnies, but it is almost identical to this one. We double the chocolate chips that are in this recipe, and only use 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. I never put nuts in mine, but may start now that I've read your version. Those are the differences! It is an excellent recipe, and I made it for years as a substitute to cookies for my boys' lunches. I am adding your version to my cookbook (with notes of the different quatnities). We love this brownie!
