Ingredients

• 1 heaping cup of milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8 x 8 baking dish.
Melt butter (I always put the butter in a mug, cut into chunks, and heat it for about 1 minute)
In the bowl of your mixer, combine melted butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and mix well.
Mix in vanilla, salt, and flour and mix until everything is blended together, but don't over-mix.
Pour into the greased 8 x 8 baking dish and bake for about 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Allow the blondies to rest for about 10 minutes.
While the blondies are resting, melt a heaping cup full of chocolate chips in the microwave, per the directions on the package. When the chocolate is melted, spread it over the top of the blondies using a spatula. Allow the chocolate to set completely before cutting and serving.
