Chocolate Chip Blondies

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper or foil and grease very well. (You do not need to grease the parchment paper.) Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth and creamy.

Add the sugar and continue beating until smooth and fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and stir to combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and ½ cup of chopped pecans.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips and ¼ cup of pecans. Bake for 25-28 minutes, just until an inserted toothpick has moist crumbs. They should be slightly browned along the edges and about a brownie consistency in the center.

Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes and then lift the brownies out by the foil/paper and remove to wire rack to finish cooling before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy!
