Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 c butter or margarine
1 pkg (1 pound) dark or light brown sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3 c mixed add-ins such as coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts, dried cherries or dried cranberries, chocolate chips, toffee chips, and/or sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly-roll pan. On waxed paper, combine flour, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
2. In 3- to 4-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; stir until well mixed. Stir in flour mixture and add-ins just until blended. Spread batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake blondie 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edges comes out almost clean. Do not overbake; blondie will firm as it cools. Cool in pan on wire rack. When cool, cut blondie lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 6 pieces.
