Chocolate Chip Blondie

Today is S' birthday.  And she is responsible for the birth of this blog.  She is far away, but I thought I would make this on her birthday.  And also it satisfies my eternal sweet tooth :-)

I have never eaten a blondie before.  This site promised a recipe that could be mixed and made in a jiffy.  And it was just that.  No undue fuss.  And a good product.  I hope I made what it is meant to be. It was kind of crisp on the exterior but nice and chewy as you bit into it.  And it was good.

But as my baking improves, I must say my photography hasn't.  But don't go by the picture.  Make/Bake it right away !

Ingredients - Makes about two dozen

Brown sugar - packed - 1 1/2 cups
Butter - unsalted, melted - 1/2 cup
Eggs - lightly beaten - 2 nos
All purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Semi-sweetened chocolate chips - 1 cup

Preheat the oven to 190C

Take a large bowl
Add into it, brown sugar, butter, beaten eggs, vanilla essence.
I used a manual egg beater to blend it all together

Combine flour, baking powder, salt.

Add to the sugar mixture.  Mix it in well

Blend in the chocolate chips

Spread ( the batter is quite thick) into a baking pan.  I had just a cake tin
Bake till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean ( about 18-20 mins)
Cool on wire rack
Cut into squares.

Enjoy with a cup of tea.
