In the spirit of bridging a divide between the chocolate lovers and the salt addicts, we are sharing recipes to appease both camps. Enjoy!

Nancy Hart's Blonde Brownies
Oven 350 degrees
¾ C. butter
1 ¼ cup packed brown sugar or raw sugar or combination of the two. (I usually only use 1 cup sugar)
-Cream the two ingredients
¾ C. butter
1 ¼ cup packed brown sugar or raw sugar or combination of the two. (I usually only use 1 cup sugar)
-Cream the two ingredients
Add:
3 eggs
1 t. vanilla
-Beat into the butter and sugar
Add:
2 cups of Rolled Oats processed in a food processor until
resembles coarse flour.
Add:
1 ½ C. flour (unbleached or a combo of whole wheat and white)
2 ½ t. baking powder
½ t. salt
At this point you can add about 10 oz chocolate chips and chopped nuts if desired. When I put the dough in a pan to bake, many of the chips seem to lump in one place and there are few in others, so I usually sprinkle the choc chips over the dough after it’s been put in a greased pan. You can even them out more this way and then just press them into the dough with damp fingers.
Depending on whether you want a “cakier” or thinner cookie bar you can use either a 9”x13” pan or larger jelly roll pan. Of course the baking time will vary some depending on the pan you use. I usually make the 9”x13” version and bake for about 20 minutes. If I make the thinner ones, I will sometimes bake just the dough (10-15 min) and then sprinkle the chips on after they are baked. The heat will melt them and you can then spread the chocolate and sprinkle with nuts if desired.
