3. Add 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and mix well. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir in 1 cup packed light brown sugar until well combined.
5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Stir in 1 cup white chocolate chips.
8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
10. While the brownies are baking, prepare the sauce:
