These are so chewy and good. I am a middle of the pan kind of bar eater, but the edges of these are...yum!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. 2
    Melt the margarine and stir in the brown sugar.
  3. 3
    Add the eggs and vanilla.
  4. 4
    Then all of the dry ingredients.
  5. 5
    Finally the chips and nuts.
  6. 6
    Pour into a greased 10 x 15-inch pan and bake 25-30 minutes (you can use a 9 x13 BUT the cookies will take at least ten more minutes to get done in the center and by the 30 minute mark you will need to cover with foil to prevent over browning).
  7. 7
    Allow to cool at least 30 minutes (if possible) and cut into squares -- store in an airtight container. Makes 30 small squares.

The blondie with choc. chip recipe (#118145) on this site is far superior to this. I don't really know what made the difference since both recipes are pretty similar. I did add coconut to this recipe to throw my sugar-fasting coconut-hating DH off the scent, but I don't believe that could've wrecked the original recipe.

    very delicious and terrific texture. didnt have time to make individual cookies so made these; followed recipe except used all organic ingredients and added 1/3c coconut and rather than chocolate chips used broken up pieces of paul newman organic dark chocolate candy bar. the texture is even better the second day; chewey but not doughy...if you can wait that long to see! thanks for the terrific recipe!

    Chewy, moist and yummy! I, too, am one of those that won't eat "end pieces" of cookie bars/brownies; but these don't get a "crust" around the edge. It's soft and chewy all over! I used butter instead of margarine with wonderful results. I went for the full cup of chopped walnuts. Great recipe for when you need cookies but don't have lots of time. I'll be making these for many picnics, bake sales, and for us at home! Thanx for posting this!

    These were fantastic, I ask my husband to take them to work(so I would not eat them all) and he refused, which is a first for him. He said he wanted to eat them. They are so good, It is like the best cookie ever in a bar, which saves a lot of prep time. Thanks for a great recipe. I will use this recipe a lot for cookouts and anywhere I need a fast yummy dish.
