Bourbon Nut Blondies

1/2 cup salted butter, melted
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
4 Tbsp. bourbon or whiskey
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease an 8×8-inch pan or line it with parchment paper with extra hanging over the sides – this makes for easy removal and slicing.

In a medium bowl, stir together the butter and sugar, then add the egg, bourbon and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Add the flour and salt and stir until almost combined. Fold in chocolate and pecans just until blended. Spread evenly into the pan.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides and the middle is set. Cool at least 30 mins before cutting into squares. 

Makes 9-16 blondies.
