Chocolate blondies

Chocolate chunk blondies

 

Ingredients: 1/2cup of butter softened, 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar, ½ cup of granulated sugar,2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, 2 cups of flour,2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1(11.5-ounce)package of  semisweet chocolate chunks, 1 cup of chopped toasted pecans (optional).

You preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 13x9 inch baking pan. You first, beat butter, sugars, and vanilla at medium speed with a mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Second, you add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Then in a medium bowl you whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Then you slowly add it to the butter mixture at medium speed until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans if you want. (Hint make sure before you toast the pecans you chop them and then you can add them later before you bake if you need to.) I mixed the chocolate and the pecans together plus I forgot to chop the pecans before I toasted them. It still tasted good.  Spread the batter in the pan and bake it for 20 to 25 min or until golden brown. Enjoy! The recipe is found in Paula Deen’s Magazine December 2013 PG. 65.
