Marc's Birthday- Blondies and Caramel Sauce

Marc loved the blondies from week two so much that he requested them for his birthday. I have had some requests for recipes so I decided to post the recipe for this, as well as the caramel sauce. I quartered the recipe we used in class and it fit perfectly in a square pan.

Blondies

butter- 4 oz
granulated sugar- 4 oz
brown sugar- 4 oz
vanilla extract- about 3/4 tsp
eggs- 2
All Purpose flour- 8 oz
cream of tarter- 1/2 tsp
baking soda- about 1/3 tsp
salt- 1/2 tsp
chocolate chips (white or dark)- 1 1/4 cups

_________________________________________________


Cream butter and sugars.

Add vanilla and eggs slowly.

Add all the other dry ingredients.

Add chips in last and mix just till combined.

Spread in a pan sprayed with nonstick spray and bake at 350 degrees until toothpick comes out clean. Mine baked around 25 minutes.

Turn off the heat and slowly whisk in cream. Place in smaller containers to cool. It will thicken as it stands and cools.
