BLONDIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
• In a medium saucepan combine the butter and sugar, and heat over medium until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat, and whisk vigorously until well combined.
• Let mixture cool for about 10 minutes, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Whisk in the vanilla.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and stir to combine. (You might still have some flecks of flour. That's OK.) Stir in 1 1/4 cup of the chocolate. Transfer to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate.
• Bake until the very top looks just set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 18 to 20 minutes. Do not overbake.
• Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes. Lift out using the paper, and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 16 pieces.
