Almond Blondies

Yum! These are the white chocolate version of the perfect non-cocoa-chocolate brownie.

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/3 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add almonds, and mix well.
2. Melt butter in medium sauce pan and stir in brown sugar; cool slightly.
3. Add egg and vanilla to sauce pan and stir well.
   
4. Add flour mixture, a small amount at a time. Mix well (I use a wooden spoon).
5. Spread in greased 8x8 pan.
6. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with fudge looking crumbs on it.
7. Serve warm with ice-cream on top. (They are good cold too)
