One thing you should know about me is that I absolutely LOVE to bake. Growing up I have fond memories of my mom and I in the kitchen making cookies and brownies together. I always loved helping and my favorite part was of course getting to lick the bowl and spoon.

Today I still love to bake and share my sweet treats with family and friends. My grandma is currently 97 years old and lives in the suburbs of Chicago. She loves when I visit {especially now that I have Elle} and I always make sure to bring her a baked present from my kitchen. One of her favorites include my chocolate chip blondies.

When it comes to baking, it can get quite messy in the kitchen. I find myself constantly washing my hands and I always reach for SoftSoap® Hand Wash Plus Lotion™ in Shea & Cocoa Butter and Orchid & Coconut Milk. These are my favorite because they are made with a touch of lotion, leaving hands feeling clean and soft. They have a luxurious scent and unique non-greasy formula. You can find their YouTube page here.

Today I’m excited to share with you my chocolate chip blondies so you too can make them and share them with your family and friends.

Chocolate Chip Blondies

1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/8 teaspoon of baking soda
1/3 cup of butter, melted
1 cup of packed brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2/3 of a cup of semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then set aside.
Stir together the brown sugar, melted butter, egg and vanilla.
Add the flour mixture slowly {only a little at a time} to the brown sugar mixture until combined.
Spread the batter into the greased pan.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.
