Beck's Bites

Chocolate-Toffee Blondies
1 2/3 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cube butter, at room temperature
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup toffee bits

Preheat oven to 350°F and coat a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat butter and brown sugar in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture; beat just until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips and toffee bits.

Scrape batter into prepared baking dish and use a sheet of parchment to press dough evenly across bottom. Bake for 15 minutes, or until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached. Remove from oven to cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Just before cutting into bars, move pan to the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes; cut into squares with a sharp knife. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

I put about 1 1/4 cups of butter in a double recipe.
