Blondies are like brownie’s fun cousin! A perfectly textured cookie bar with a soft middle and edges that are the best kind of crispy. Winning combo!
Blondies are a favorite around these parts. They are delicious and really easy to make. They travel well so they are a fun dessert to bring to a party or a picnic.
Blondies
This is a great dessert recipe to have in your back pocket. You can mix them up in about 5 minutes and they taste so good. Blondies are great for any occasion. Take them to a potluck, game day, or just a fun after dinner treat.
Blondies are made with chopped pecans, chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. They are rich, chewy, and easier to make than cookies.
These cookie bars are a fun change from the typical brownie. I love eating them fresh out of the oven but they also freeze like a dream too.
What else can I add to Blondies?
Blondies are really versatile and you can add lots of different things. Some ideas are adding M&Ms, butterscotch or peanut butter chips, or chopped up candy bars.
How do you know when blondies are done?
Watch blondies closely because if you bake them too long they will be dry and not as soft. You can insert a toothpick in the center of the pan to check for doneness. If the toothpick comes out clean, they are done. They will also start pulling away from the sides of the pan when they are close to done.
What is the difference between a brownie and a Blondie?
They are really similar in ingredients. However, brownies use chocolate and white sugar as the base and blondies are vanilla in flavor and use brown sugar. I think of Blondies like a really good chocolate chip cookie bar.
