So here's a riddle for you: Whats the difference between a blondie, and a chocolate chip bar? Any takers? Well, here's the answer: Nothing! Thats right, now you can sleep easy tonight. Well, no matter what you call these: blondies, chocolate chip bars, or brown sugar brownies, they are delicious, easy to make, and generally don't last more than a day! I ( as usual) have tried lots of recipes, and this one was so exceptionally chewy and good, I had to share it with you!
Blonde Brownies
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
2/3 cup margarine
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tbl vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
In a large mixer bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined. Melt the margarine in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, and add the brown sugar. Cool slightly, and add the eggs and vanilla. Slowly pour into the flour mixture, and mix until combined. Do not overmix. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan, and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan before cutting.
Oh boy!
ReplyDeletePerhaps these should be titled "Death By Blondies". Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, enough to tempt even the most die-hard brownie-lover to the Light Side. Added white chocolate chips for aesthetic affect-no need. These were gone before anybody bothered noticing that they also looked rather good.
Little effort, massive yield. Make them. Now.
