Blondies

Lately I have been trying to bake more. I've never been the best baker, but I figure "practice makes perfect" is a saying for a reason!

On Sunday I was craving something sweet, and I decided to make Blondies, for the sole reason that I had all the ingredients! This recipe came out of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.

Sorry I don't have a picture! But they were so good that I thought I should post it anyways.

Blondies

Ingredients

1/2 cup of butter, melted

1 cup of tightly packed dark brown sugar

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon of baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 cup of all-purpose flour

1/3 cup of chopped walnuts or cashews


Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour an 8X8 pan. Whisk together the melted butter and sugar in a bowl.

2 Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk.

3 Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, mix it all together. Add the nuts.

4 Pour into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool. Cut into squares and serve.

Makes 9 blondies.
