2023 Nana Papa Camp's Blondies

 We made Blondies several times during Nana Papa Camp this summer. They were yummy. I have a collection of recipe books that tempt you when you are checking out of the grocery store and I had the girls choose recipes that wanted to make that week. This one was Phoebe's choice from Nestle's Toll House Best-Loved Cookies, 1995 edition. I knew the book would come in handy one day!

Maeve chose two recipes for fruit-based popsicles we made with small paper cups and popsicle sticks (a staple in any Nana's home although these came from Papa's stash.)

Blonde Brownies

  • 2-1/4 c flour
  • 2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1-3/4 c. packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups baking chips of any kind
Combine the first three dry ingredients. Beat the sugar and butter until creamy and then add the eggs one at a time. Gradually add the flour and then stir in the morsels. Spread the batter in a jelly-roll pan (I use the 9-13 gold baking sheets lined with parchment.)

Bake 350 for 20 minutes. Cool and cut.
