Jen Gunter Instagram – I used to make these blondies on heavy rotation when my boys were younger. One bowl and so easy. They basically taste like a big, thick, chewy cookie, but easier to make because no portioning out each cookie before baking! I think this might have been a @marthastewart recipe that I read ages ago and tweaked. I hadn’t made them for 8 or 9 years and hadn’t written the recipe down, but it came back. Muscle memory I guess!!! If you are looking for a super easy treat, here you go. If you are one of the minority who makes a snarky comment about sugar or any kind of food shaming, just move along. Ingredients: 2 sticks butter, melted 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsps vanilla 2 eggs 2 cups flour 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350F Grease an 8X 8 pan and line with parchment paper (I use cooking spray cuz I don’t have time for the flour and butter mess) Mix the butter and sugar. (I melt the butter in a large bowl in the microwave and then mix everything in that bowl). Add the salt, vanilla and eggs and mix. Then add the flour and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes (in my oven 45 minutes still leaves the bars chewy, which is essential!) Try to let cook for at least 30 minutes before cutting into and enjoying!
