Blonde Brownies (Blondies)

My first job out of college was a full-time position at the Florida Museum of Natural History's business office. I learned all the ins and outs of handling purchases off of federal grants in addition to appreciating baking and cooking. The executive assistant used to make blonde brownies and I had to keep the recipe (below) - Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

8 Tbsp unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 1/2 cups brown sugar (16 oz)
3 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
2 2/3 tsp baking powder
2/3 tsp salt
1 Tbsp pure vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

3. Bake in a greased 9 x 13 pan for 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool, cut and serve.
