Blondies

I made some of these for the book club tomorrow night.  I used a 9 x 13 Pyrex and lowered the oven to 325 degrees.  It took a little longer than the twenty minutes the recipe calls for.  I used blanched slivered almonds instead of pecans.  Verdict to come later.

This is my aunt's recipe.

Blondies

3/4 stick butter
1 c brown sugar
1 egg, beaten well
1 c flour
1 t baking powder
pinch of salt
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 cup nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Melt butter and stir in sugar.  Allow to cool, then add egg and vanilla, and then remaining ingredients.  Stir until smooth and put in dish and bake 20 minutes or until done.

Verdict:  Very good, and the texture was fine (not too crisp, but cooked enough).  It might need a little more flavor, though - maybe next time I'll add a little almond extract along with the vanilla.  (They are all gone now, so I guess others liked them too!)
