Chocolate Chip Blondies

When I was growing up these Chocolate Chip Blondies were my favorite treat in the world!  I still love them and beg my mom to make them for me even though I’ve been stuck at 39 for a little while now.  I have finally talked her into letting me have the recipe so I can share these blonde beauties with you.

The piece of paper that she handed me is so old and worn that it was falling apart in my hand and I actually feel like I’m saving the recipe for posterity!

This recipe makes a big batch but they always go really fast.  I hope you’ll try them out and let me know what you think!
