Blondies

My friend, Dana, has the best treats. These are so yummy!

1 cube butter
1 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch salt
1 c. flour
½ to 1 cup chocolate chips (can replace with M&M’s or another flavor of chips)
½ to 1 cup nuts (optional)
        Preheat oven to 350°. Butter an 8x8” pan. Mix melted butter with brown sugar. Beat until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add salt, stir in flour. Add chocolate chips and nuts. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. (If doubling recipe in 9x13, cook 10-15 minutes longer). They are done when the top looks golden and the edges are browning. Test the middle to make sure they are done. Cool before cutting.
