Peanut Butter Blondies

Can I just say that I am so super excited!!

Nope nothing to do with these blondies, they are great, but I got to place my order for Girl Scout Cookies today! No matter what I can bake, nothing will replace a bite of frozen Thin Mint or the creamy peanut butter filling inside a Tagalong! Did y'all get to order some?


So about these blondies... My mom and sister came to Houston to celebrate a late Christmas since I was in Florida with my husband's family. Yeah that's right, my Christmas tree is still up and yes, we are the hobos with the wreath still on the door. I'll take it down...later. Since they were in town, I made these blondies for my sister. She does not like chocolate. I know, it's crazy to me too! 

These blondies had a little bit of surprise inside though...peanut butter chips! She may not like chocolate, but since we are related and all she must love peanut butter!



Peanut Butter Blondies

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 and 1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups peanut butter chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking pan and set aside. In a medium bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, set aside. In a large bowl cream butter on medium speed till smooth. Add in sugars and beat till fluffy or about 3 minutes. Add in eggs, one at a time till incorporated. Add in vanilla and mix till incorporated. Add flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture a small amount at a time, which beating on low till completely incorporated. Add in peanut butter chips and mix by hand with spatula. Spread batter evenly into prepared 9x13 pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and let cool completely before cutting into bars (unless you can't wait no one will notice the little corner missing).

If you want to chocolate them up, just substitute out 1 cup peanut butter chips for chocolate chips. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Baking!

    These are delicious...glass of milk and I'm all good. Guess it's that time of year again. I LOVE Girl Scout cookie ice creams. Samosas too.

    Wow, I know only one other person who doesn't like chocolate :) Oh well, I guess everyone is different. More chocolate for the rest of us! Although I will certainly not reject those peanut butter blondies... they look quite yummy :)

    Girl Scout cookies are so dangerous! Thin Mints are entirely too addicting!!

    I've been craving peanut butter cookies but I will make these bars instead. Maybe dip a few in melted chocolate. Although my Christmas tree is down, I do continue to find stray decorations that I realize need to be packed away. Keep the celebration going as long as you need.

    Oh, I love blondies, and peanut butter blondies sounds so yummy! I wouldn't be embarrassed with a wreath still on the door, my neighbors have had their Christmas lights up for a full 6 years!

    These look delicious; I will have to try this recipe soon. If this is confession time, then I will admit my Christmas tree is still up too!! We were also gone for the holidays, but it is coming down this weekend. Definitely.

    Thanks for the recipe!
