This one's for the undercooked cookies are the best crowd. Well, I suppose I'll allow you to cook them all the way if you like. :) I've tweaked this recipe a bit to get it to the point that it's no fuss, and can even be done in one bowl. No messy scooping around in the peanut butter jar; this one uses peanut butter chips instead. You can substitute other types of chips if you like - chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch, etc. Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter |
1 3/4 cups brown sugar |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
6 ounces peanut butter chips |
Directions:
1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat margarine or butter in the microwave on half-power until mostly melted.
2. With a wire whisk, mix in brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
3. Dump in flour, baking soda and salt (if you're a purist, you can mix them in a separate bowl ahead of time, but I've always had just as good of results with the single-bowl method). Stir with a large wooden or plastic spoon until flour is completely incorporated.
4. Add peanut butter chips and stir.
5. Pour batter into a greased 13x9-inch pan and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until it's nicely browned and looks set.
6. Meanwhile, eat any remaining batter sticking to the bowl. :).
7. If you like your blondies more done, you can bake them a bit longer until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I have no idea how long that takes because I've never gone that far. I find they're just right at about 22 minutes, and definitely best when warm.
