Basic Blondie Brownies

My friend Chrissy requested blondies. Request and she shall receive for her birthday! I am taking them to her tomorrow. I hope that she gives them a thumbs up!

6-7 TBSP butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder

**Any add-in's - see below

Preheat oven to 350.
Line an 8X8 pan with foil and lightly spray with PAM.
In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Mix the brown sugar with the melted butter and beat until smooth. Beat in egg and then vanilla. Add salt, stir in flour and baking powder. Mix in any additions.

Pour into prepared pan and used a greased spatula to even spread mixture in pan and level the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set in the middle. Cool on rack before cutting.

**Various Add in ideas~
~1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate or butterscotch chips
(I made these with 1 cup - 1/2 butterscotch chips & 1/2 white chocolate chips)
~1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnut, almonds
~1/2 cup M&M candies, 1/2 chopped Reese PB cups
~1/4 cup toffee pieces
~1/2 tsp. mint extract in addition to or in place of vanilla extract
