Blonde Brownies

 I remember my mom baking these brownies in the oven and taking them on picnics when I was a child.  I love to use Guittard real milk chocolate chips in these brownies...yummy!!  Oh, and also have a glass of milk nearby because you are going to need it with these sweet brownies!

2/3 C butter, melted
2 1/4 C brown sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 C flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 C chocolate chips
1 C chopped nuts (optional)

Spread thin in a 9x13 pan.  Bake 20 -30 minutes at 350 degrees.
