Dark Chocolate Chip Blondies

Oh my gosh. I don't mean to gush, but these are truly incredible. Imagine a chocolate chip cookie, only thicker, richer and studded with plenty of dark chocolate chips. And you know what's even better? You need just one bowl, one whisk, a handful of ingredients, 15 minutes in the oven. It's as simple as that. In less than 30 minutes, you can be chewing on the most decadent blondie ever...

About the chocolate chips: I used Hershey's Special dark chocolate chips - which are slightly larger than regular semi-sweet chips. Use your favorite brand of chips or chunks.

Dark Chocolate Chip Blondies

Cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan generously with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Place the melted butter in a large bowl. Whisk in the brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until the edges are golden and a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool on a rack before cutting into bars.
