Blondies

M&M Chocolate Chip Blondies

ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup M&M's (optional)

directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 8X8 pan with cooking spray. I used a glass Pyrex dish.

2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl-flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until smooth.

4. Add in the egg and stir. Next, stir in the vanilla. Stir until smooth.

5. Add the flour mixture and stir until the ingredients are combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and M&M's.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the blondies for 23-25 minutes, until the blondies are set. A toothpick will come out clean when they are done. Let the blondies cool on a rack. When cool, cut and serve.  (they are chewy when cooled, gooey when hot.  I prefer chewy, but they taste good either way!)

**I usually make these without the M&M's just because I rarely buy them.  You can omit them and keep everything else the same, or I like to increase the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup rather than 1/3 cup.
