Yes, I know this isn't in order, but apparently it was national blondie day last week so I decided to jump ahead and do the patriotic thing and make blondies in honor of this day..haha. These are okay, I way prefer brownies to blondies. I did sprinkle chocolate chips on top which really was an error because after looking over the recipe better it recommended putting then in the main batter which would have probably made them turn out much better-all that said, here goes...
Blondies
2 cups packed brown sugar
2/3 cup butter (I used betterlife buttery baking sticks)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup sliced almonds or broken pecans (I substituted 1 3/4cup coconut-which if I were to make these over again, which I won't I would increase the coconut to 2 1/2 cups)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13X9X2 baking pan; set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine brown sugar and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth. Cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition just until combined. Stir in vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder and baking soda.
Spread batter in the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool slightly in pan on a wire rack. While warm, cut into bars. Makes 36 bars.
Alternate--Chocolate-chunk blondies: Prepare as directed expect reduce nuts to 3/4 cup and stir in 3/4 cup of chopped semisweet or white baking chocolate into batter (again this was my mistake, sprinkling on top causes batter to sink, stirring into batter would have been better-pays to read the directions).
