Blondies

Submitted by Acerast

"My family loves these chewy bars so much that a pan of them does not last very long in our home. They are from a Kitchenaid cookbook entitled "Great Baking and More." These yummy bars are so quick and easy to stir up and are great for dessert, snacks or lunch boxes. I have used pecans in place of the walnuts and M&Ms for the chocolate chips successfully. Feel free to add your favorite ingredients to this buttery base - it's a winner!"

First time I've made blondies and not thrilled with the recipe. They came out ok tasting but very dense and cookie like. Batter was very thick when I put in the pan and i double checked the recipe to make sure I got all the wet ingredients, though I did not use walnuts and doubled the chocolate chips. Any suggestions?

This recipe seemed to much like regular cookies, but I made it anyway. Followed the directions to a T, and yup, it was a giant cookie. Ended up cooking it longer then the recipe called for and it still wasn't done.

Delicious, moist and chewy. Instead of mixing the chocolate chips into the batter, I sprinkle them over the top just before baking. Be sure to keep these in an airtight container.

These are absolutely gorgeous! I have made them at least 4 times already for our boarding house boys and they were a big hit each time. I have made them with and without the nuts and once even with white chocolate instead of semi-sweet, turned out great! Thanks so much, acerast, for sharing this wonderful recipe, this one is definitely a keeper!
