Blondie Bias

I never thought I was a bigot. But when I stop and think about it, I've always looked the other way when it comes to Blondies. I mean why would anyone choose a Blondie over a Brownie? But then I had a change of heart. The last time we were in Puyallup, Mom Bowman made these amazing-looking Blondies with fudge frosting. What could I do? There was nary a Brownie in site. So I decided to face my deep, dark chocolate predisposition and have a bite. And now? I'm in love. I've even dreamt about them. So, here's to Mom and Blondies!

Jeanette's Blondies

Melt over low heat 1/4 C. margarine. Remove

from heat and add 1 C. (packed) brown sugar. Stir 

until blended. Cool.  Mix in 1 egg and set aside. Sift

together 3/4 C. flour, 1 tsp. baking powder and 

1/2 tsp. salt. Add to the cooled margarine/sugar 

mixture. Mix in 1/2 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 C. chopped

nuts.

Spread in a well-greased 8x8 square pan. Bake at

350 degrees for 25 minutes or until when lightly

touched only a slight imprint remains. Don't 

overbake! Can cut into squares while still warm.

Or cool and then frost with favorite fudge 

frosting.
