Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; line with parchment paper or aluminum foil with a 1-inch overhang on either side to aid in removing from pan. Reserve.
Combine the flour, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl. Reserve.
Put the butter into the Cuisinart® mixing bowl. Attach the flat mixing paddle and mix on Speed 2 to soften. Add the sugars and increase to Speed 5 to cream until light and fluffy, about 2½ to 3 minutes. Scrape down the entire bowl as necessary.
Reduce to Speed 3 and add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next. Scrape down the entire bowl as necessary.
Reduce to Speed 1 and slowly add the dry ingredients. Once almost fully mixed, add the chopped chocolate, chocolate chips and nuts. Mix until combined and then pour into the prepared pan.
Bake until top is just starting to crack, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan; then, using the parchment paper/foil overhang, lift blondies out of pan and transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Cut and serve warm if desired. Store remaining blondies in an airtight
