Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Blondies
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons hazelnut liquor (or one teaspoon hazelnut flavoring) 1 cup flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 12 ounce bag of chocolate chips 1 cup chopped hazelnuts (or walnuts or pecans or cashews if that floats your boat)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 inch square pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Butter the paper.
In a large bowl, combine the butter and the sugar; mix well.
Whisk in the egg, vanilla and hazelnut liquor (or flavoring)
Add the flour and salt and mix JUST until blended. Gently fold in all but about 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and about 2/3′s of the nuts.
Spoon batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top then sprinkle on the rest of the chocolate chips and the nuts.
Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown and a wooden skewer comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack until cool, then use the parchment paper to lift the blondies out and cut them into squares.
