There’s something to be said for vanilla.
I don’t recall ever really having a Blondie before (I guess?). I know they’re pretty common and lots of folks swear by them. This recipe is from Saveur.com. It’s so mind-bogglingly easy and over-the-top delicious.
Guess I’ve always just been more of a brownie guy. Where have blondies been all my life?
And these are like brownies, just without the chocolate. But what they do have is a rich, vanilla flavor that knocked my damn socks off. Here’s how to whip up a quick batch:
Whisk together some flour, baking soda and salt – set aside. In a separate bowl, combine some white sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Before.
After.
Beat this mixture together until smooth. Then, add in some butter. A lot of butter. Like, 12 oz of butter – that’s a stick and a half!
Then, combine the dry ingredients with the sugar and eggs and butter mixture. Oh, lordy. Once this is just combined, add in 2 cups of white chocolate chips, which is the whole amount of a standard-size bag from the grocery store.
Spread the batter in a 9×13 pan and bake for about 25-35 mins. Go ahead and remove your socks, cause they’re gonna get knocked off anyway. Enjoy!

Hahaha! Love the title of these little beauties. They look delicious as well
Thanks – I figured they’d be good, but I wasn’t prepared for how AMAZINGLY delicious they actually were!
We have some white chocolate chips. This looks like a great way to use them up. I’m not the biggest fan of white chocolate, but these look wonderful.
The white chocolate is not over-powering – I don’t think you’ll be disappointed
Mmmm, sounds like heaven to me!
Thanks, they really are heavenly!
I’m telling you, I didn’t understand the wonders of blondies ’til late(r) in life too. These look awesome. Great mixing shots. The white chocolate chips are a nice touch.
These look amazing, Bill. May I make the bold suggestion to add Macadamia nuts too? That would be a perfect little square for me.
