- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and half of the sprinkles gently into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining sprinkles for extra color!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Notes
Be careful not to overmix when combining dry and wet ingredients, as this can lead to denser bars. Consider using different flavored baking chips, like butterscotch or peanut butter, for a unique twist. If you prefer a thicker blondie, you can use an 8x8 inch baking pan but be sure to extend the baking time by a few minutes. Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
