Baking Class: Brown Sugar Chewies

I saw Paula Deen make these on her Home Cooking show a while ago, and they looked simple and quick and I love brown sugar sweets, so I decided to whip up a batch the other night. They looked like blondies, for which I have neither made nor searched out a recipe. I'm not sure why.

And they were quick, and easy to make. And they tasted . . . a little disappointing. They weren't overly sweet, but they were rich - and I can't believe I'm saying this - a little too rich for my taste. I think I'd be better off just tracking down a good blondie recipe and giving that a try.

For some reason I also decided that these didn't need the pecans. I can't explain it, because I actually had them on hand. I'm glad I didn't add them, because it would have made them even more rich.

I suppose the best thing about these is that they have finally inspired me to hunt down and make a batch of blondies.
