2cups (12 ounces)semi-sweet chocolate, butterscotch or peanut butter chips
2cupsfinely chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 17x12x1 inch pan (a half sheet pan) and set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, stir to mix, and set aside.
Combine the butter and brown sugar in a separate bowl and cream together with an electric mixer until light and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition until well blended. Add the vanilla and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
Stir the flour mixture into the butter and sugar mixture and combine just until the dry ingredients are moist and blended. Do not over-mix.
Fold in chips and pecans to blend. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool 30 to 40 minutes before cutting. Trim the edges and cut into 2½x3 inch bars. (For a smaller blondie, cut the bar in half down the center or on the diagonal.)
