Chewy Chunky Blondie

This is a recipe, I took from my old blog, My Sweet and Savory.  I plan to make these for Shabbos and hope to post a new and better photo of the blondies.

 I have not made Dories' baked goods in a while and I love her recipes.  When I saw this, I decided that I could not wait any longer to indulge myself so hopefully, in a day or two, these will exist again in our house.  They are for my wonderful grandson and his wife who are joining on this Shabbos.

 Here is a photo of the new blondies.  Instead of covering the whole blondie with chocolate. I dropped spatters over it.

Chewy Chunkie Blondies   - From Baking from My Home to Yours - Dorie Greenspan page 109 (adapted slightly)



Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bakiing soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks margarine at room temperature (8 ounces)
1 1/2 cup light brown sugar (I use Brownulated)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chunks
3 ounces chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup coarsely walnuts

Method: 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Spray with cooking oil a 9 x 13 baking pan.

Place baking pan on a cookie sheet.



Whisk together, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.



In large bowl, with a mixer, beat margarine until smooth and creamy.



Add brown and white sugars and beat until incorporated. (about 3 minutes)



Add eggs, one at a time. Beat one minute after each addition.



Reduce mixer speed to low and add dry ingredients. Mix only until they disappear into batter.



Using rubber spatula, stir in chips and nuts. (In place of coconut, I added some additional chopped nuts.)



Use spatula to scrape batter in prepared baking pan.



Bake for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted into center of blondies, comes out clean. They should pull away from the sides of the pan and be a honey gold in color.

Transfer pan to a rack and let cook for fifteen minutes.



Turn blondies out on another rack.



Let blondies cool to room temperature,



I added a step. When, I took the blondies out of the oven, I sprinkled the top with chocolate chips to cover, and spread them out, for an easy icing. They did not need the icing but I was bringing these to my students who love chocolate.

Makes about 32 bars.

What I like best about these is the chewiness with every bite. Opposed to a soft cake, this had a definite bite to it.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
