Scott's One-Bowl Blondies

Anyone have a "non-chocolate-lover" in your household?

I am sucker for ANYTHING chocolate!  A piece of dark chocolate, chocolate cake, brownies, you name it.

Scott on the other hand, doesn't love chocolate. 

One day recently we had a hankering for a little something sweet to end the day.  Brownies is often a go-to around here because we've got a fail safe one-bowl recipe that's easy to make.  Low and behold, we had NO COCOA in the house!

So we got creative and crafted up a "blondies" recipe.  One of my unwritten rules about baking ... one-bowl is better than two!  These blondies meet that criteria and can easily be mixed up all in one bowl.

Remember that "non-chocolate-lover" in our household?  Scott loves these blondies!  In his opinion, there like a chocolate chop cookie version of a brownie and oh-so-yummy!

Enjoy!

Scott's One-Bowl Blondies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F.  Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter or lard.

Cream butter & sugars in a large bowl.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix in.  Blend in flour & baking powder until flour all mixed in.  Fold chocolate chips into the blondies.

Spoon batter into pan a scoop at a time.  Using a spoon, spread blondie mixture evenly in the pan.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.  You will want the blondie to still be a little moist in the middle to keep it chewy and moist once it cools.

Let cool (a little bit at least) before slicing.
