Blonde Brownie Recipe

This is the best chewy blondie recipe! Buttery, soft, and simple to make (no mixer required!) I think you’re going to really love these!

This recipe is very similar to my well-loved chocolate chip cookie bars and is every bit as good! My Blondies recipe includes options for mixing in chopped nuts or white chocolate chips, but these cookie bars taste just as good without any add-ins at all. Be sure to check out my how-to video at the bottom of the recipe!

If you’ve been following my Instagram stories you already know that Zach and I are fostering three 7-week old puppies. They are the cutest, goofiest, fluffballs I’ve ever seen, but they’re also exhausting, so excuse me if a few of my sentences are a little incoherent today. Bonus puppy pics at the bottom of the post!

Buttery, soft, chewy, loaded with your favorite add-ins, these cookie bars are packed with flavor and they are the perfect easy snack when you need a dessert in a pinch. Fortunately today’s recipe is super simple because I don’t know that I’d have the brainpower to focus on anything even mildly complex right now, but I do have a few tips and other info I want to share with you.
