Congo Sqaures - Blondies

My mom was always really sweet with baking treats and goodies for us kids. One of my favorite treats was Congo Squares, a yummy mixture of a chocolate chip brownie. (I have also heard them called Blondies) Sounds yummy? Yea, I know! If you now have the itch to bake these little guys, all you need is...

3/4 cup butter, melted

2 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

3 eggs

2 3/4 cups all purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 TBS vanilla extract

.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325* degrees.

2. In large mixing bowl, combine butter and brown sugar; cool slightly. Beat in eggs, one at a time. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to sugar mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.

3. Pour batter into a 9x13 pan. Bake for 25 - 30 mins. When completely cool, cut into squares.

4. These can seem gooey if you don't let them cool AND set. I actually think they taste best the next day or at least a couple hours later. If you over cook them, they will look done, but then they will set hard and crunchy. So, even if they seem a little gooey try and trust them :)

I hope they turn out as good as when my mom makes them... because they are gooooood :) These are seriously my #1 favorite baked good.
