Chocolate Chip Brownies
by Kathy Jacobs

Do you like blonde brownies? I love them. For years, I have meant to adapt my mother's blonde brownie recipe to a chocolate chip recipe that worked in the Dutch Oven. Finally, for the IDOS 2004 Fall Convention, I just went ahead and played around and made them. Three double batches later, here's the recipe for you to try!

1. Mix melted butter with all other ingredients except chocolate
2. Spray liner pan with Pam equivalent
3. Spread mixture in liner pan
4. Sprinkle with chocolate chips (if you don't think there are enough, add more)
5. Bake in 350 degree Dutch Oven until knife or tooth pick comes out clean
6. Remove from pan and cut

(This recipe makes one 8x8 square. For IDOS, I doubled it.)

Note: When I made this recipe at IDOS, I changed it from my mother's recipe.

Duh - You say - You already knew that. Well, the change that I made was accidental. The original recipe called for a small amount (1/2 teaspoon) of baking powder. When I copied the recipe into the computer, I forgot that ingredient. I never noticed. In fact I think I liked them better this way.

A day or two after the convention, I watched an episode of "Good Eats" where Alton Brown made brownies. He didn't add any baking powder either. Since everyone at the convention liked the brownies, I say go with the recipe above. I fyou think the baking powder is needed, add it back in.
