Applebee's Blondies

Yesterday was my mom's birthday and I knew she LOVED Blondies from Applebee's, so of course that is what I made her and it did not disappoint! They were so yummy! There are lots of copycat Applebee's Blondies but I found my recipe here, and changed it up just a bit.

Blondie:
4 egg whites
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk
3/4 bag of white chocolate chips
1/2 c. walnuts, chopped (add more or less depending on your liking)

Sauce:
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
1/4 tsp. salt

Topping
Vanilla ice cream
chopped walnuts

To make the Blondie cake, whip the egg whites until stiff and form peaks. Add butter, brown sugar,sugar,and vanilla. Mix with mixer until smooth.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder,and salt.

Add dry to wet and mix well. Stir in the milk.

Add the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan and bake at 325 for 30-35 minutes until golden. Cool and cut into squares.

Time Saver: While Blondies are in the oven cooking, mix up the sauce. Put it in the fridge until ready to serve. When ready heat the sauce in the microwave for about 60 seconds until hot. Top the Blondie square off with a scoop of ice cream, drizzle with sauce and if you want sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
Also another tip: Try not to let your 3 year old get a scoop of baking powder and throw it in the mixture otherwise you'll have to start over ! Gotta love the kids helping out.

Hope you Enjoy, and hope to hear from you. Comments, feedback would be great! Thanks
