What Is a Blondie? 

A blondie is the blonde best friend to the brunette brownie—lots of similarities but with some very important differences to make it unique. Unlike a typical brownie, a blondie is made up of vanilla and brown sugar, instead of chocolate or chocolate flavoring. Blondies may also include nuts, coconut or toffee for texture. If chocolate isn’t your thing, then blondies might be your new go-to dessert. And yes, you can still enjoy it with a nice cup of coffee. Blondes have more fun, right? 

Ingredients: 

• 1 1/2 cups flour

• 3 tablespoons Death Wish Coffee Pumpkin Chai (liquid) 
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla  
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
