I think as a child I brushed off the notion of Blondies being good. I liked cookies better & when my Mom made Blondies instead I didn't think they were as good. The other week while visiting a friend I was reintroduced to these tasty treats. She made hot out of the oven Blondies for us & I think I ate about half the pan. I'm officially an addict & have made them three times since then. As a child disregarded these scrumptious bars, but as an adult I appreciate how much time they save compared to making chocolate chip cookies. They are great for large groups &, as I've discovered, wonderful for breakfast with a good cup of coffee... told you I was an addict. Here's what I know:
Ingredients
1 cup butter softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 cup mini chocolate chips (you can use the regular size, but I like the minis for this recipe)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter & both sugars. Add eggs & vanilla & mix until fluffy. Mix together flour, salt, & baking soda. Slowly add to dough until all is mixed in. Get yourself a good pinch of yummy cookie dough & continue. Mix in oatmeal & chocolate chips. Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking sheet. Spread dough as evenly as you can on baking sheet, I generally end up using my fingers. Bake for 25 minutes or until tops are golden. Let cool slightly & cut into individual size bars. Enjoy!
