Gingerbread Blondies
Serve Santa these spiced Gingerbread Blondies to go with his glass of milk on Christmas Eve.

I must be crazy, posting all these recipes lately. So many ideas to share yet not enough time in the day.
I did want to squeeze in one more gingerbread recipe before Christmas.
As a photographer, I could not go through December and not have the famous bokeh Christmas tree picture (which just means having the Christmas tree lights blurred in the background).
In order to do that, I needed an extra special Christmas treat to photograph in front.
And considering how busy my December became, it had to be quick and simple yet scream Christmas. That’s when my mind decided on Gingerbread Blondies.
I already brought you mini gingerbread cheesecakes, small batch gingerbread cookies, and small batch gingerbread cupcakes.
This year I’m focusing on gingerbread blondies (and hint – you can totally gift these to friends and even mail them. Or eat them all yourself. I won’t judge).

It took some time, but I finally got my tree up last week.
It’s an artificial tree that my parents gave me a few years ago when I moved into my own place.
I told myself one day when I had my own tree, it would be decorated with only cupcake ornaments.
I thought that would be difficult, but it’s amazing how many cupcake ornaments are out there. Even Hallmark has a cupcake collection.
Here are some of my favorite ornaments (I have over 30):

As for the recipe, they are chewy in the center, just like how a blondie is supposed to be.
The molasses makes them look almost like brownies, but because of the brown sugar and lack of cocoa, they still fit the blondie family.
I went back and forth between semisweet and white chocolate chips, and as you can see white chocolate won. I think next time I’ll throw both kinds in.

I love your cupcake decorations! Your pics are so Purdy and festive. The extra special treat looks totally holiday-licious!
Thank you. Happy Holidays.
Gingerbread flavored sweets are my favorite this time of year! I love how easy these are!
These look so good! Love the bokeh picture…still haven’t gotten around to mine yet!
I love your tree and these blondies look tasty too. I bet Santa wouldn’t mind a plate of these. ;-)
Ooh, your tree is so cute!!!! I kind of want to start collecting cupcake ornaments now (I only have one). And those gingerbread treats look delicious. I don’t think I’ve been baking enough gingerbread lately.
These look delicious. The pictures are FAB, too!
Merry Christmas!
Wow. The blondies were absolutely delicious. Easy, full of flavor, and moist. I had a little extra crystallized ginger (1/4 c. chopped) and added it into the batter. Really really yummy and the husband liked them as well. Going to keep this recipe! Thank you for sharing this.
Love your addition of crystallized ginger. Glad you both enjoyed them!
I’m sad that Christmas has come and gone before I could try these. I may have to make them anyway just for the heck of it!
I personally eat gingerbread up until December 31, so I think you still have some time left ;)
