White Chocolate Pumpkin Blondies

White Chocolate Pumpkin Blondies – Desta Watkins

1 cup butter, very soft
1½ cups brown sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup pumpkin
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
¾ tsp ginger
¼ tsp ground cloves
dash nutmeg
2 cups white chips, divided
½ cup chopped nuts (opt)
Cinnamon sugar mixture for topping

Cream butter and sugar till creamy. Add egg, vanilla, and pumpkin. Mix well. Combine dry ingredients and stir in. Add 1½ cups of the chips and the nuts. Spread into a greased 9×13″ pan. Bake at 325° for about 35-40 minutes or till toothpick comes clean. Melt remaining 1/2 cup white chips and drizzle over the bars. (I added about 1/2 tsp oil to mine so the drizzle would set up a little softer.)

Notes: You could also use butterscotch chips or cinnamon chips in the bars
