MARY ENGELBREIT FAVORITES..... and BLONDIES!

I don't know about you...

but,

I ADORE anything from Mary Engelbreit!!

I have recently added to my collection

with this darling little dessert cookbook,

along with these precious coffee mugs,

which I found at Home Goods! 

Anytime I visit Atlanta,

Miss M and I make a trip to Home Goods...

one of my all time favorite Mother-Daughter shopping excursions! 

Of course, when my eyes landed on these, I almost squealed with delight...

seriously.......

Now who wouldn't be happy having morning coffee or a 

mug of cold milk while enjoying a warm chocolatey blondie?

BEST EVER BLONDIES

2/3 cup margarine, melted

2 cups brown sugar

2 large eggs

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Melt margarine.

Add to sugar in bowl set aside.

Beat eggs add to sugar & margarine.

Sift together flour, baking soda, & salt Add vanilla then nuts if used.

Spread into a 13" x 9" baking pan.

Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of batter.

Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. The secret is to underbake just a tad so that they will be soft and gooey!
