Yummiest Blonde Brownies!

Adapted from a favorite cookie recipe, these are so good that the first time I made them I ate the entire 8x8 pan myself! Easy and delicious - these are great when you want a real chocolate chip blonde brownie and not a chocolate chip cookie bar.

• Ready In: 28 mins
• Serves: 9
• Yields: 1 8x8 pan

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter, melted
• 3⁄4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2  eggs
• 1  cup flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 (12 ounce) bag  semi-sweet chocolate chips (mini chips would work also)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease the bottom of an 8x8 pan (I prefer glass).
3. In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, vanilla and eggs with the melted butter. Mix well using a wooden or plastic spoon - not a mixer.
4. Stir in flour, salt, baking powder and chocolate chips. (Tip: the chips will disperse more evenly throughout the batter if you mix them in with the flour instead of on their own at the end.).
5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until just barely golden around the edges. This usually takes just under 20 minutes in my oven but you should cook them until they are the texture you prefer - less time for fudgy, gooey brownies, more time for slightly more cake-like brownies.
