I was in Trader Joe's yesterday and walked by a boxed mix for blondies. I stopped, stood, stared, and realized I had to have blondies. Soon. So, I came home and baked a batch. Lately I've been baking things like beet and butternut squash muffins for my daughter so it felt incredibly indulgent to be baking something exclusively for my own craving. I looked up a few recipes which all seemed to be about the same, and decided to follow Smitten Kitchen's template with the addition of pecans. I hadn't appreciated just how much like a cookie a blondie can be, which was an added bonus since I've been in the mood for chocolate chip cookies for days. I almost wonder if next time I can make them more cake like by giving them some lift with baking soda. Regardless, this is a solid recipe that's nice and simple and can be jazzed up with various additions.
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
1 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
3/4 chocolate chips (I used bittersweet)
In a medium bowl with the melted butter add sugar and beat until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat again. Fold in flour and salt, then chocolate and nuts. Spread in a 8x8 baking dish and baking at 350 for about 20 minutes.
