Blondies are like the second sister to chocolate brownies but are in fact just as delicious and even easier to make. It’s basically a bar-cookie version of chocolate chippers. You don’t have to cream butter and sugar but merely mix brown sugar with melted butter, add flour, chocolate chips and nuts. The version I make has a liquor component— a shot of bourbon or rum adds great flavor to these.
As a simply prepared dessert they’re great to pair with a scoop of butter pecan or vanilla ice cream or just grab a square to enjoy on the go.
