Blondies

These blondies are best right out of the oven, but are good for about a week after they're made. Microwaving the blondies for a few seconds to melt the chocolate makes the blondies really good after the first day. They're super sweet and have a sort of caramelized taste because the butter is melted with the brown sugar.

1+3/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar (light or dark)
1  cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1+1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375. Butter and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
Melt the butter in a small pan or in the microwave in a bowl. Put the brown sugar and melted butter in a large bowl (or a mixing bowl) and stir until smooth.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Beat the eggs and vanilla into the sugar/butter mixture. Gradually add the four mixture and mix until smooth. Fold in chips.
Spoon batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until blondies are light brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
