Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Blondies

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
3. Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy. Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
4. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture and mix until combined.
5. Turn the stand mixer off, add the chocolate chips, and fold in by hand.
6. Pour into the baking pan and spread in an even layer, all the way to the sides.
7. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you remove from the oven too soon the center will not be baked through. Let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. When ready, slice, serve, and enjoy!
8. Store any leftover in an airtight container on the counter once completely cool.
