Recipe Box, Heaven in a Cookie Bar
Not much new here, just your basic blondie with nuts and chocolate chips…YUM! YES! PERFECT! and perfectly easy…make these and give them all away except this one little corner which you MUST taste, being the cook and all…
Ok, so get the stuff out, this recipe is so basic you probably have everything in your pantryto really appreciate the chaos going on here, see yesterday’s post, Gifts from the Kitchen [Sept 19, 2012]
When I cook, it’s not pretty, I tend to spread out everywhere…
This recipe is so basic I am not going to bore you with a lot of pictures, just combine the dry ingredients and add them to the eggs whisked with the melted butter and vanilla
Then fold in nuts and chocolate
and pour into a prepared [cooking oil sprayed] 9″ x 13″ baking pan
Bake at 325 for 18-22 minutes, checking carefully towards the end. Do not overbake! As soon as you see browning start around the edges remove from oven.
Doesn’t look quite done does it? But it IS! Any longer and the bars will be dry. Cool COMPLETELY before cutting. This will kill you, refrigerate them if you must to speed this part along…
Then cut your itsy bitsy bite [HA] and proceed to give the rest away without crying. You’ll be so proud of yourself.
