Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a blondie recipe that uses chocolate chips and walnuts. I asked my sister what she wanted for her birthday, and the only thing she really wants are blondies. I used to have a great recipe, but I've LOST it! If you can, please help! - Cat |

Cat - I like the recipe you posted. It's more basic -- blend butter & sugar; add eggs; mix dry separately; gradually add, etc. Thanks for sharing your recipe and your experience with it. Now blonde brownies are on my list when my college son comes home! |

Thanks everyone! I found a recipe on the Hersey website, and adapted it for my uses. My sister's birthday was last weekend, so I've already whipped up a batch of blondies for her. Needless to say she was very pleased.
katie-ell: I think that recipe is really close to the one I lost. My problem is that I can't taste the results to determine if I like it or not cuz the ones I always make have nuts, and I'm allergic. Now, I could make them without nuts, or with something else (like the yummy Blueberry Blond Brownies mentioned above), but the request is always with nuts so... This time 'round I ran downstairs and tested them out on the boys who live in the apartment below me. They were a hit so I'm gonna keep the recipe. Here it is if anyone is interested:
3/4 c butter or margarine, softened
3/4 c packed light brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 c chocolate chips
1 c chopped walnuts
1. Heat oven to 350 F. Grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
2. Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs; beat well. stir together flour, baking soda and salt in separate bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in chcolate chips and nuts. Spread into prepared pan.
3. Bake 30-35 minutes or until top is golden brown and centre is set. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars.
About 36 bars.
I actually went half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat. I used butter, not margarine. And I didn't use 1 3/4 c of chips, only about 1 1/2 c. The batter was really hard to spread out into the greased pan, but it spread out and baked fine, although I was using a glass dish, and the edges baked a bit on the hard side. |

Hey Cat! Here's a recipe for you:
CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDE BROWNIES
Recipe by: Southern Sideboards by the Junior League of Jackson, MS
Makes 24
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup nuts -- chopped
1/3 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar -- packed
1 egg -- slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Add nuts; mix well and set aside.
Melt butter in saucepan and remove from heat. Add brown sugar and beat well. Let cool. Add egg and vanilla and blend.
Add flour mixture, a small amount at a time, mixing well after each addition. Spread in a greased 8 x 8 inch pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool in pan and cut into squares. If doubling recipe, bake in 9 x 12 inch pan.
I haven't tried this recipe myself, but printed it out a while back and stuck it in my recipe folder. I'd incorporate the chocolate chips into the batter rather than topping with.
I love blonde brownies and may have to make these today -- very coooold in Chicago today, isn't it!! |

Margret~
MaryJane sells Organic Blueberry Blond Brownies, there're amazing!! I believe it means that there are white chocolate chips in them. You can see a picture of them in the magazine. Hope this helps...a little.
Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it.....unless they are spelling mistakes. |

I've never heard of blondies. Could you give me a description? Maybe they go by something else here. 
Call me old fashioned. |
