## Definition

a sweet dessert bar that is similar to a brownie but made with vanilla and brown sugar instead of chocolate.

For teachers: a baked dessert square typically composed of flour, brown sugar, butter, and eggs, resembling a brownie in texture but lacking cocoa powder.

## Examples

- She baked a batch of blondies for the office party.
- While brownies rely on chocolate for their depth, a good blondie gets its rich flavor from the caramelization of brown sugar and butter.
- The bakery's signature blondie features a dense, chewy center with a crackly top, often enhanced by the addition of white chocolate chips or toasted pecans to provide textural contrast.

## Usage notes

- Often used in the plural when referring to the individual cut squares.
