Original Blondies

Since I posted the recipe for cherry-filled white chocolate blondies yesterday, I thought it was only fair to post the original blondie recipe that first started our obsession with the delicious dessert bar.  They were featured on Tyler Florence's show awhile back and I've been making them ever since.  They are a crowd pleaser, a sweet tooth's dream, and ooey gooey delicious.  The outer blondies typically turn out crispier and drier (my personal favorite), while the middle ones are super buttery and sticky.  Everyone in our family fights over them, especially when they are still warm!  I've only made them with butterscotch chips but feel free to experiment with semisweet, peanut butter, or white chocolate chips.  Be sure to serve them with a tall glass of cold milk.  Enjoy :)

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 fine salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
About 1 1/2 cups butterscotch, semisweet chocolate, peanut butter, or white chocolate chips, optional

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish.

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

Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.

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

Spoon the batter to the prepared dish and spread to evenly fill the dish. Bake until the blondies are 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 squares and serve.
