Folks who love the flavor of the classic cookie will enjoy that same great flavor in these chocolate chip bars. This blondie recipe can be mixed up in a jiffy, tastes wonderful, and is perfect for occasions when company drops by unexpectedly or you need a treat in a hurry. —Rhonda Knight, Hecker, Illinois
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla just until blended. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to brown sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
Chocolate Chip Blondie Tips
What is a blondie?
Blondies are very similar to brownies but they typically contain brown sugar and vanilla instead of the cocoa that brownie recipes contain. You can use either light or dark brown sugar in this blondie recipe, but dark brown sugar will give you the boldest flavor.
Why do my blondies sink in the middle?
Blondies need a lot of air incorporated into the batter, and this can take longer to achieve because of the brown sugar. Whisk the batter until it's very pale, fluffy and thick, and be patient—rushing this step will lead to gooey blondies. We also recommend baking blondies in a metal pan instead of a glass one to allow them to cook faster.
How do you know when blondies are done cooking?
Like most baked goods, you can test blondies for doneness by inserting a cake tester or toothpick into them. If it comes out clean, the blondies are ready. Try topping your blondies with chocolate or mint-chip ice cream; drizzling them with fudge sauce; or garnishing them with whipped cream, chopped nuts, cherries or chocolate kisses.

We put chopped walnuts on half. They were scrumptious! We baked them in a 9x6 so that we could fit them in the toaster oven, and we decreased the temperature to 325 since they were thicker. They took a little bit longer but we cooked until the toothpick came out clean. Yum!

I'll tried these with chopped pecans and left out the chocolate chips.

The only change I made was to bake in an 11 x 7 glass baking dish for 25 minutes. Outstanding!

this recipe is absolutely perfect. The only change I made was to sub out Nestle's toll House salted caramel truffles for the chocolate chips.

Delicious, chocolatey, and chewy. These were so good that they disappeared quickly. I'm looking forward to making them again and trying different chips or even chocolate candies.

These get rave reviews from my adult children. Last batch I tried M and M's instead of chocolate chips and everyone agreed they were the best cookies ever. Super simple recipe.

Super moist and delicious. Next time I would make it in an 8x8 dish because it was really thin when made in a 13x8.
