Double Chocolate Blondies

If you like this recipe, please share!

It’s the end of the school year and I wanted to make a tray of goodies for the ladies in the front office at our elementary school. I’ve had this recipe in my “to try” file for more years than I care to mention. I figured this goodie tray was the perfect opportunity to finally try it. I’m making them again this weekend for a Memorial Day potluck party in our neighborhood. They take no time at all to make and I know the kids will love them.

While these have more of a brownie texture, the are like a chocolate chip muffin cookie. You can use any type of chocolate chip you like in this recipe. I only had half a cup of semi-sweet chips so I used half a cup of milk chocolate chips. Any combination would be nice or use one type of chip. Butterscotch chips would be a nice change. Since the recipe only makes twelve you could double it for a larger group and make different variations. If you like nuts, add ¾ cup of either walnuts or pecans.

Another serving idea would be a dollop of vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate syrup (or fudge), nuts, and sprinkles. A mini cookie sundae.
