Here is another fabulous recipe from Grandma.  These were apparently one of her go-to recipes when having guests over in Japan.  Blondies are non-chocolate versions of brownies, but with the addition of chocolate chips these are like soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies.  They’re absolutely delicious.

Chocolate Chip Blondies

Makes 9 bars

• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup nuts
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F.  Grease an 8×8″ baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.  In a large bowl mix together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla.  Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix until just combined.  Mix in the nuts and chocolate chips.  Spread batter out into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and set.  Enjoy!
