Why I Love This Recipe

I love how versatile this recipe is. There are infinite add-in possibilities. I usually just add in chocolate chips. But I plan on trying almonds, mint extract, peanut butter chips, white and dark chocolate chips, and whatever else I come up with along the way. It's so simple to bake, and uses melted butter, which really saves time.


Ingredients You'll Need

8 TBS butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla or 1/2 tsp. almond extract
pinch salt
1 cup flour


Directions

Preheat oven to 350.


Butter an 8x8" pan.


Mix melted butter with brown sugar-beat until smooth. Beat in egg and then vanilla.


Add salt, Stir in flour.


Mix in any additions (some ideas below).


Pour into prepared pan.


Bake for 20-25 minutes (err on the side of caution, do NOT overbake these babies) or until set in the middle. Cool on rack before cutting.


Add in ideas: add 1/2 to 1 cup of the following in any flavor combo you can think of.


1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips or butterscotch chips/white chips etc, you get the idea


1/2 tsp mint extract in addition to, or in the place of vanilla extract or another extract of choice


1/2 cup chopped nuts: walnuts, pecans, macadamian


1/2 cup dried cranberries


1/2 cup chopped up candy bars
