Maple Brownies - a seasonal treat

I love these brownies (blondies). 

1 3/4 c flour
3/4 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
12 T butter (unsalted)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 c maple syrup (grade B if possible)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
1/2 c chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9 x 9 inch square pan with Pam with flour.

Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl, and set aside.

In stand mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar at medium speed for 6 minutes.  Beat in maple syrup and then beat in each egg.  Add vanilla.  Continue to mix the batter.  Stir in chocolate chips and flour by hand with rubber spatula.  The batter will be sticky.

Spoon batter into pan.

Bake for 35 minutes (start checking at 30 minutes, depending on your oven).  Cool on wire rack for 30 minutes.  Cut into 16 squares.
