Welcome to the kitchen and introduce the recipe for blondies.

Cream together butter and sugar in a stand mixer.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, and baking powder.

Beat in eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until just mixed.

Add in pecans and chocolate chips, mixing until combined.

Prepare a 9x9 baking sheet with a parchment paper sling for easy removal.

Spread about three-quarters of the thick dough into the prepared baking sheet, ensuring to spread it into the corners.

Scoop the remaining dough onto a baking tray to make cookies.

Bake the blondies in the oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes.

After removing the blondies, bake the cookies at 350°F for 12 minutes.

Cut the blondies and cookies in half to taste and compare textures.
