This is National Blonde Brownie Day! Oooooh, I have such fond memories of Mom regularly making these for us in the 1950s and 60s. Then I started making them, too. Nothing has changed. They are still merely mahhhhvelous!
Blonde Brownies
Mom made these for us constantly in the 1950’s & 60’s. Nothing has changed. We still love ‘em!
2½ c flour
3 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ c (1½ sticks) butter, softened
1¾ c packed light brown sugar
3 lg or ex-lg egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 c (12-oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ c (or more) chopped pecans or walnuts
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder & salt. In a large bowl, cream brown sugar into the butter till smooth; beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually stir in flour mixture till well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Spread batter in well-buttered 9×13 or 10×15” pan. Bake 20-25 min at 350°F till golden. Cool in pan on a wire rack before cutting.
KISS Tip: These are just as chewy & great when made nut-free. And they freeze splendidly.
