I LOVE blondies! When I was a kid I didn't really like chocolate (shocking!) but was thrilled at bake sales & lunch time when the school would have blondies for dessert. yum!
I went to make these last night and was asking hubs if he likes blondies so I would know whether to adapt the recipe to his (picky) tastes or just leave it as is. Well...silly boy just pouted and asked why I couldn't make brownies or cookies instead. No blondies for him!
I must say that I was excited to make this recipe as written because I adore walnuts & coconut, and also had some butterscotch chips that needed to be used up. I used some toasted coconut that I had left over, and though I thought that it didn't impart much coconut flavor, the chewiness that it added was lovely! The only change I made was to halve the recipe and bake it in a 8x8 pan.
The recipe came together very quickly, but I don't think mine were quite done at the recommended baking time of 40 minutes--the toothpick still came out wet. However, since I love gooey cookies & brownies, I decided to go ahead and take them out anyway (a little underdone blondie never hurt me!).
These are amazing! I love the chewiness from all the mix-ins, the caramelly flavor, and the richness (one is definitely enough!). I think that some of these will also be individually wrapped and frozen for treats later :). Thanks so much to
Nicole of Cookies on Friday for this pick (found on p. 108-109 of Baking From My Home to Yours) and check out the
leave-your-link post from the TWD website to see who baked along this week.
That silly hubby. A blondies is just a cookie in a different form. We loved these! :)
ReplyDeleteYours do not look wet. They look just right. I also made mine in an 8 inch pan. Just the right amount for us.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious. I love a slightly underdone brownie or blondie! YUM.
ReplyDeleteSilly, silly hubbies. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteTheir loss. Perfect idea to freeze some individually. I did that, too, with the other 3 mini blondies.
These are wonderful, aren't they? I wish we had some more right now!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby can't get enough of these! Yours look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour blondies look great! I wish I'd erred on underbaked. A blondie is like a brownie and cookie rolled into one delicious treat, silly husband.
ReplyDeleteSilly husband. They just don't know a good thing when it is right in from of them. Yours look really great. Thanks for baking along with me this week.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the coconut added a wonderful chewy texture. Your hubby doesn't know what he was missing.
ReplyDeleteYes these are definitly a winner. Repeat. Repeat. THOSE look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSarah could you forward me this recipe? I haven't made blondies in ages and my last attempt didn't go so well!
ReplyDeleteI'm falling a little behind (ok a LOT) on TWD, but after seeing this, I'm getting my butt in gear this weekend! It looks INCREDIBLE!. OH AND Congrats on your new nephews!!!
