MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Blondies Categories: Desserts Yield: 16 Blondies 4 oz Unsalted butter; plus more -for greasing pan 1/2 c Sugar 1 tb Molasses 1 1/3 Flour 1/4 ts Baking powder 1/4 ts Baking soda 1/4 ts Salt 1 Egg; lightly beaten 1/3 c White chocolate chips; -semisweet chocolate chips -may be substituted 1/4 c Heath Bar; coarsely chopped 1/2 c Pecans; coarsely chopped These moist and chewy treats couldn't be easier to toss together and are loaded with white chocolate chips, Heath bar bits and pecans. Molasses, just 1 tb, adds an earthy, deep flavor. If white chocolate isn't your jam, sub in semisweet chocolate chips; a combination of both would not be remiss. Preheat the oven to 325 F. Butter an 8" square pan. In a medium saucepan, melt butter. When hot, stir in sugar and molasses and transfer to a large bowl to cool. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. When butter mixture is cool, whisk in egg until slightly fluffy. Mix in the flour mixture until just combined, then fold in white chocolate chips, Heath Bar, and pecans. Press batter into the prepared pan. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes. Cool and cut. M's note: this is reputed to be one of the most defective recipes ever printed in the Times. The comments range from use more butter to add more egg to add sugar to subtract sugar. These are one of Bonnie's brother-in-law and grandson's favorite cookies, so she made them and let me taste one. I found them a bit ... austere ... and suggested adding butter and subtracting flour, also cooking them for 5 to 10(!) minutes less than the recipe calls for.
