Blondie Cookie Bars

Blondies are just like brownies without chocolate

and are usually made with brown sugar.

This recipe found on the package of chips that

I used are spread out and baked on a

“jelly roll” pan,which is just a cookie sheet

that has sides and is about ¾” deep.

Brownies can be either cake-like or fudgy

depending on the recipe ingredients.

These bake up more like cookies except

they are cut into squares to serve like brownies.

THE HISTORY OF BLONDIES Like brownies, blondies originated in the U.S.

We’re just not absolutely certain of their creator.

Blonde brownies predate the chocolate version by about 10 years.

Around 1896, a molasses-flavored bar cookie (no chocolate, cocoa or chocolate chips)

called a brownie appeared.

The name honored the elfin characters called Brownies, featured in popular books,

stories, cartoons and verses of the time by Palmer Cox (the Eastman Kodak Brownie

camera was also named after these elves).

Also according to Food Timeline, the name “Blondie” surfaces in the 1980s.

It was not named for Dagwood Bumstead’s wife.
