Blondies Recipe from Book Sake

We love brownies at Book Sake...but we also have a soft spot for blondies. Here's our go to recipe for the holidays.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups butterscotch, semisweet chocolate, peanut butter, or white chocolate chips (optional, but why wouldn't you add them?)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter & flour a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.

Put the sugar in large bowl. Melt butter in a small skillet or in a glass
measuring cup in the microwave. Stir butter into the sugar until smooth, cool to
room temp.

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together.

Beat eggs and vanilla into the sugar mixture. Add the flour mixture a little bit
at a time and mix until a smooth thick batter forms. Fold in the chips, if desired.

Spoon the batter to the prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake until light brown
around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about
20 to 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Invert onto a rack and cool
completely. Cut into 18 squares and serve.
