CHOCOLATE CHUNK BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8 x 12 x 2 inch baking pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on high speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time, and mix well, scraping down the bowl. In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and with the mixer still on low, slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture. Fold the walnuts and chocolate chunks in with a rubber spatula.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes exactly. Don't overbake! A toothpick may not come out clean. Cool completely in the pan and cut into bars.

• Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and put it on a baking sheet.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

• Add in both sugars and beat another 3 minutes, or until well incorporated.
• Add in eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition, then beat in the vanilla.
• Decrease mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients, mixing just until they disappear into the batter.

• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top as best as you can.

• The blondies should pull away from the sides of the pan a little and the top should be a nice homey brown.

• Invert onto a rack and cool to room temperature right side up.

ULTIMATE CHEWY BLONDIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F (see note about baking time/ temp).
• Grease a 10" baking pan.
• Melt butter. (I usually microwave it in a large mixing bowl for 1 minute from the fridge, or 2 minutes from the freezer.).
• Mix sugar, eggs, molasses, vanilla, and almond extract with butter.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. (I leave out the salt if I am using salted butter.).
• Mix wet and dry ingredients. Scrape batter into prepared pan, and smooth. Sprinkle top with toffee bits or candies.
• Bake for 19 minutes - you want the blondes to be set but not too firm - a toothpick will be slightly sticky when they are done.
• Cover with foil and allow to cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes (preferably an hour.) They really need to be almost completely cooled to be sliced and moved (although they are great hot, just a bit messy,) and the foil helps seal in the moisture.
