Chocolate Chip and Walnut Blondies

We had friends over for dinner and my daughter and I wanted to make a special dessert. Of course my (chocoholic) daughter wanted something with chocolate chips so we decided on blondies. These are very simple to make and so good. More importantly, it was a nice time spent with my sweet pea.

• 2 cups of flour
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/4 sticks of unsalted butter (10 tbsp)
• 2 cups of brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup of milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour (or coat with cooking spray) a 9.5 x 13.5 x 2 inch baking pan. In a large bowl combine, flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and mix thoroughly. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium low heat then remove from heat once butter is completely melted. Add brown sugar and vanilla and stir. Gradually pour butter mixture into flour mixture along with the eggs and mix thoroughly. Add chocolate chips and walnuts and combine. Pour batter in prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake blondies for 25-27 minutes. Cool blondies before slicing into squares. Enjoy!
