Gordon Ramsay White Blonde Brownie Recipe

I made these Blondies with the kids, they were so good, we make plenty to store in the freezer so we could enjoy them on a different day as well. They did freeze well, they came out of the freezer still soft and chewy in the middle after thawing. This is has become one of my very favorite dessert bar recipes to make.

What is the difference between a brownie and a Blondie?

Blondies (A.K.A.) blonde brownie is a rich, sweet dessert bar. They look a lot like a traditional chocolate brownie, but vanilla is substituted for the cocoa that is commonly used in chocolate brownies, and contains brown sugar, giving it the Blondie color.
