What Exactly Are Holiday Blondies? Blondies vs. Brownies
They’re a cross between a cookie and a brownie, my favorites! Blondies are chewy and sweet like a cookie but are dense like brownies. They’re also made in a brownie dish, so the process is much faster and less clean up than if you were to make cookies.
This really is a delicious Christmas cookie bar recipe that everyone will love! Warm and gooey straight out of the oven pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Or at room temperature, once they’re firm, they will be chewy and still so scrumptious!
