Anyways, so the baking commenced. And 88 little, delicious, chewy chocolate chip cookies later I decided that it wasn't going to be enough. I had to split the batch three ways: tomorrow is a friend's birthday, I'm going to a Super Bowl party tonight, and I may have promised cookies to people at work. And let me tell you, my office could polish off all 88 on their own before lunch; so I was going to need a back up.
I haven't been doing much baking lately (since my Packers' related superstitious baking ended when their season did) so I was down to the bare necessities in the pantry. Luckily, flour, sugar, and eggs can get you a long way. Enter: chocolate chip blondies.
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 & 1/2 cups unpacked brown sugar
6 tbsp butter
2 large egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cups chocolate chips (I used about 1/2 a bag because it's what I had left)
1/3 cup water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat brown sugar and butter until fluffy.
Add egg whites and vanilla.
Gradually beat in flour mixture, alternating with water.
Stir in chips.
Original recipe here.
From here I deviated from the original recipe. I don't have a great 9x13 pan, so I made half of mine into cupcakes and the other half in a small loaf pan. The cupcakes were perfect because they'll be portable for the party I'm going to today. And the extra loaf, well that's just going to stay right in my kitchen.
Baking time will vary on oven consistency (mine is not very consistent in heating, a fine quality for an oven) and on the form in which you bake it. The cupcakes took about 8 minutes, and the loaf pan took about 10 minutes. Make sure to take them out of the oven while the tops still look a little raw. Don't wait until the tops are golden, because by then the bottoms are going to be charred.
These turned out to be fluffier version of the cookies I had made earlier. Not complaining at all, because chocolate chip in all forms are delicious. I'd definitely recommend this quick and delicious recipe. Full review to be added after I share my wealth of baked goods at the party this afternoon.
*That's not actually a picture of what I made, but it's one I found on the internet and it's pretty darn close. I was lazy last night and want to dig around for my camera while I was covered in batter.
