CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES

These are super rich, and super good!  Even better, they're super simple to make!!  If you enjoy the flavor of cranberries and chocolate, then you're going to really enjoy these babies.

INGREDIENTS:

1 stick butter or margarine, melted

1 cup light brown sugar

1 cup flour

3/4 cup craisins

3/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, white, etc., I chose dark chocolate)

1 Tbsp. vanilla

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 egg

DIRECTIONS:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.   Line an 8x8 pan with parchment; spray a little non-stick spray in the pan prior to adding the parchment, and another small amount after adding the parchment.

Next, melt one stick of butter in the microwave. In a medium size bowl, cream the butter, egg, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla by using a wire whisk.

Add the flour blending just until all the flour is incorporated.  Mix in the craisins and chocolate chips.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 24-26 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.  If you like soft and gooey, go with the short end of the time allotment.

Remove from the oven and let sit approximately one hour until firm.  Slice into relatively small pieces since they are so rich.

Grab a cold glass of milk and Enjoy!  (bet you can't eat just one)

Note: You'll find a number of these recipes on the web...although, the vast majority use white chocolate.  I've never been a fan of white chocolate, so I substituted my favorite which is dark chocolate.
