ChunkyChewyBlondie in real life
26 Jul
In real life? I think that it means it really happened in this case it was caused to happen. What about that? Imagine what we cause to happen each day with each tiny little unintentional choice we make. Whether its the way we respond with a certain tone or the way our eyes cut to look. Maybe its the warm smile or perhaps a forced reaction to another’s behest. Either way you look there is another view from the opposing direction.
Well, that could go on and on but lets just examine these blondies. These are brownies but the chocolate is intentionally not included. It is left out. Sad don’t you think? I suppose if you are conditioned as I am to expect that unctious melted chocolate, to bathe the inside of your mouth as you take your first bite. Well, you will be surprised because while they have chocolate chips or chunks, of your choosing, your best or your next favorite, this is intentionally a different kind of brownie, kids. This is a blondie. The chewy factor is supplied by the abundance of brown sugar, mixed with a lot of butta baby. Well it does have coconut and chopped walnuts. The magic? The magic is that you can switch, add or take away any of those items, intentionally. I just love the magic I’ve learned while baking with Tuesdays With Dorie. Even with the science of baking, many variations as Dorie refers can be enjoyed. You can actually change things around and “magically” have a successful baked good. Chocolate or no.
They are gooey and delicious even without the majority of it being chocolate. However, I adore chocolate. Need I say more?
Thanks Nicole of Cookies on Friday for choosing this wonderful cookie (bar). I know you love cookies and this one is really more amazing than I expected without its intentional chocolate. Of course thanks goes to Dorie as well for creating the book that has inspired untold numbers of people to get in the kitchen and be intentional about their ingredients. Thanks! You must not forget to visit and drool at the other TWD bakers.
