Blondies (Applebees Knock-Off)


I think it's pretty apparent that I do a lot more baking than I do cooking.  And I love sweets... definitely a weakness of mine.  I sure wish I was more like my husband who rarely even craves them.  Anyway, these blond brownies are chewy goodness.  And add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top... divine.  The recipe comes from Mels Kitchen Cafe.

Blondies (Applebees Knock-Off)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 10 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3/4 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips (I also added white chocolate chips.)
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (I always omit nuts.)
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9X13-inch pan with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and mix well. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and blend until combined.
  3. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and nuts over the batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
