Blonde Brownies

Recipe provided by GTU Viewer Co-Host Christine Ostler (appeared 9/11/08)

2/3 cup margarine, melted
2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1tsp vanilla
1tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 TBS water
2 3/4 cups flour
2 cups chocolate chips (chef's mixture: 1/3 milk, 1/3 semi-sweet & 1/3 white chocolate)

Mix first seven ingredients together, then add flour. Blend together. Add chocolate chips and stir. Spread mixture into a 13x9 baking pan. Bake at 340 degrees for 22-24 minutes, depending on your oven. Bake only until the brownies begin to slightly brown on the edges.

Christine's other variation - omit chocolate chips and frost the brownies with your favorite chocolate frosting.
