Peanut Butter and Chocolate Blondies

Brownies may be my favorite sort of cookie, but sometimes I have a hankering for the non-chocolate, blondie version. They are great with butterscotch chips, but they are phenomenal with peanut butter and chocolate, a time-honored flavor combination that never lets me down.

These come together really quickly and I hardly ever wait for them to cool before I dive into the pan.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Blondies

Ingredients:

• 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½cup butter, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• ½ cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
2. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt, whisking well to break up any clumps and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, cream together the butter with sugar and brown sugar until fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well. Gradually add dry ingredients, beating on low speed until thoroughly combined.
5. Fold in the chips and make sure they're all well incorporated into the dough.
6. Spread the dough in prepared baking pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until set. 
7. Cool on wire rack and then cut into bars.
