So these may be a knock off recipe of Applebees.   But I've had the Applebees blondie and these are MUCH better!

1 cup Sifted Flour

1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 White Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees

Sift Flour, add Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt (sift again) add chopped nuts. Mix well set aside.

Melt Butter then add Brown Sugar, egg and Vanilla extract and mix well.  Add to flour mixture and stir in the white chocolate chips. 

Spread in a 9x13 pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick insterted in center comes out clean or with slightly fudgy crumbs.  Serve with Ice Cream and Maple Butter Sauce.

Maple Butter Sauce:
