Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary. Enjoy!  Maple Pecan Blondies Makes 9-12 servings Original recipe from Bigger Bolder Baking Ingredients ¾ cup butter, melted or browned 1¼ cups dark brown sugar ½ cup maple syrup 1 large egg  2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda I ¼ cups pecans, toasted and chopped  Directions   Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

They're supposed to be big according to the original recipe but I like smaller cookies so I used a small cookie scoop. Don't be tempted to over-cook them.

The original recipe doesn't say this, but I chilled my dough for an hour. Chill between batches so it doesn't warm up.

Sorry, I don't remember how many cookies I got out of this recipe but the original recipe makes 1.5 dozen big ones so you may get at least double that if you make small ones.
