blondie bites

just another one of my crowd-pleasing miniature desserts : )

i love brownies. i love blondies. i also love all things miniature, which is where this recipe comes in. i used this blondie bar recipe  a few times before i realized that although they are sensational, i hate cutting them into squares. lame, i know. i did some experimentation and adjusted the temperature to turn these bars into bites using a mini muffin pan. genius, i know i know.

recipe //

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup crushed chocolate candy (my favorite is peanut butter cups)

preheat oven to 350 degrees. melt butter. mix brown sugar and melted butter - mix well. cool slightly. add egg and vanilla. blend well. in separate mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. slowly mix with wet ingredients. mix in chocolate chips & crushed chocolate candy. scoop out into greased mini muffin tray. bake for 10-15  minutes. store in airtight container at room temperature.

the best sugar cookies ever

this is a post of few words. mostly because these are the best sugar cookies in world and no one has ever turned down one (or two!) of these delicious little nuggets and i'm not kidding. they're addicting. the recipe also makes a million of them, depending on what size cookie cutter you use. cutting the recipe in half is a wise decision, unless you want leftovers for daaaaays.

looking for a super-simple, most-healthy-but-still-sweet snack to satisfy that craving? well you're in luck. as much as I love baking, which I really, really do, sometimes it's nice just to not have to turn on the oven, ya know? and as if they couldn't get any better, these little bad boys only have 6 ingredients. six simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
