Classic and Classy Blondies

I’m blonde so naturally I HAVE to love ‘blondie brownies’, right? =)

The first time I made a blondie was about a year ago.  I had never heard of them before so I was very intrigued.  I made them and instantly fell in love!  They are soft, chewy, sweet and delicious.  The main thing that I love about blondies is that they are so easy!  No batches, waiting, multiple dirty baking sheets, how great is that?  25 minutes later, BAM they are done! 

This specific recipe is very basic which is perfect.  You can always use this recipe as a starting point and then add whatever mix-in’s you like.  I tend to always go with the classic chocolate chips; you can never go wrong with them!  Another favorite of mine is this basic blondie recipe with a little bit of peanut butter mixed in!  Amazing!   Feel free to do whatever mix-in you like best…I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

1 cup sifted flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/8 t. baking soda
