Applebee's Blonde Brownies

I made these for a girls night out. As you can see they were a hit with the boys too! Super good, nice and soft and moist too. I would recommend drizzling with caramel ice cream topping before serving though. Or if they are still warm, then add a nice chunk of butter over top of them and let it melt into the blondie and turn into a sinful goo. Either way, add to them or not, they are still amazing!

2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3 /4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter (10 Tbsp.)
2 cups packed golden brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Flour and butter a 9 x13 x 2 pan.
Sift flour into a bowl. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and baking
soda. Set aside. Melt butter. In mixing bowl, place melted butter
and add sugar, mixing well. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
Add flour slowly, blending. Batter will be slightly thick.
Spread in pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips and pecans over all.
Bake for 25 − 30 minutes.
