Straw Poll: Blondies [or Brownies]...cookie or not cookie?

Unable to make my usual favorites because my baking supplies were low with one stick of butter left, I decited to give a blondie recipe from my Williams-Sonoma cookbook a whirl. I was surprised how few ingredients the recipe required and the blondies were quite tasty.

1 stick unsalted butter
1.5 cups light brown sugar

1 egg plus 1 yolk
1.5 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons flour
1/4 tsp salt

0. Preheat oven at 350. Grease an 8 x 8 pan and line the bottom with parchment paper
1. Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until mixture melts and bubbles, then cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let mixture cook for 10 min.
2. Stir in eggs and vanilla into brown sugar/butter mixture.
3. Sprinkle flour and salt (mixed together) over the mixture and stir until just combined.
4. Pour into 8 x 8 baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes, until the toothpick test comes out clean.
