Blondie Squares

This is a nice variation on a chocolate chip cookie.

Butter one 10x15x1 jelly-roll pan , and line with parchment or foil paper.

Set a rack at the middle level of the oven , and preheat to 350.

In a mixing bowl , stir together flour , salt , and baking soda.

Beat the butter with the sugars until combines.

Beat in the eggs , one at a time , and finally the vanilla extract.

Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture , then the nuts and the chips.

Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes , until well risen and firm to the touch.

Cool in the pan on a rack.

After cake is cool , invert onto a cutting board and peel away the paper.

Cut into 2-inch squares.

Storage: keep the blondies in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.

Or wrap individually and freeze in a tightly closed plastic container.
