Blondies!

If I ever have to make a last minute dessert, or have a dish that doesn't quite work out as planned, I turn to my old stand by: these incredible chocolate chip blondies.This is probably the recipe I get asked for the most, and is the dish I repeat most frequently, simply because its so easy, and always comes out great. This recipe actually isn't originally mine: it comes from an old teacher of mine from high school who I still keep in touch with.
You can also customize this recipe to use your favorite additions. I generally use one bag of semisweet chocolate chips, but you can use substitute some white chocolate chips, or add some chopped nuts, M&Ms, you can even try mini marshmallows. Let me know what you try! Whatever you pick, I'm sure they'll come out as chewy and delicious as always.
Tip of the Day: When you've added all your ingredients, raise your mixer beaters an inch higher and turn it on low for a few seconds to get all the batter off. But if you raise them too high - you'll end up with spattered hair and clothing!
