2/3 cup butter
2-1/4 cups flour
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13" baking pan and set aside. In the microwave, melt the butter. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar. Slowly beat in the eggs and vanilla, mixing until batter is smooth. On low speed, gradually mix in the flour mixture. Batter will be very stiff. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Spread the batter in the baking pan, smoothing it into the corners. Bake 25 minutes or until the blondies begin pulling away from the sides of the pan. Let cool to room temperature in the pan on a wire rack, then cut into bars.

Very good recipe. I subsituted chocolate carmel swirl chips in place of the semi-sweet chips for a different spin on a traditional chocolate chip cookie bar.

I have made this recipe many times over the past few years, and it is a family favorite now. Try making a frosting from White Chocolate Chips and confectioner's sugar--more like a glaze, really. It hits the spot!
There are a couple of things to mention--while the list of ingredients mentions the vanilla, the directions fail to say to put it in, so don't forget to add it!! I realized that only AFTER making the first batch. Also, I use medium eggs for this. If I use large eggs it comes out too mushy.
Lastly, I've had best results cooking in a metal pan. Glass pans, whether clear or tinted, just don't get me the same fluffiness.

I thought the chocolate chip blondies were awesome. I've been looking for a recipe like this one.

I think that this recipe is good but you have to name it chocolate chip cookies.
