Peanut Butter Blondies

This was another recipe I found in the Penzeys catalog.  I could see this at an upcoming summer party or picnic.

1 1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. peanut butter, crunchy or smooth
3 eggs
1/2 C. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 C. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt (reduce to 1/4 tsp. if using salted butter)
6oz. semi sweet chocolate morsels

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar, peanut butter, eggs, butter and vanilla.  In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.  Stir in the chocolate morsels.  Spread into an ungreased 9X13 pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.  They will be cracking and brown around the edges when done.  Cool, cut and serve quickly...they are best when just a little bit warm.
