Blondies

1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, plus more for the pan

2 1/4 cups flour, plus more for pan

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 cups packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 eggs

2 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup toffee bits

Preheat oven to 350. Butter 9x13 pan. Line the bottom with parchment. You will be using the parchment to lift the brownies out so be generous in using the parchment. Butter and flour the parchment as you would a cake pan.

In a saucepan, cook the butter until it turns a golden brown. Remove from heat. In a seperate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In a mixer, combine butter and sugars. Next add eggs and vanilla. Add flour, nuts, and toffee. Pour into prepared pan.

Cook for 35 minutes. Do not overbake. Transfer to a wire rack to cook completely. Peel off parchment and cut brownies into desired shape. Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days.

Watched this on Martha the week before Valentine's. Fun to have something yummy that isn't the traditional chocolate. Enjoy.
