Blonde brownies are essentially chocolate chip cookies in brownie disguise. They’re light and fluffy in comparison to traditional chocolate brownies which are typically rich and dense. I love both types of brownies but you can get so much more creative with blondies. Since they’re similar to cookies, you can add whatever mix-ins you want! I’ve chosen cornflakes for crunch and a touch of saltiness, chocolate chips, and marshmallows for some extra sweetness and fluffiness.

The sauce for these blondies is a salted white chocolate maple butter and it really takes these blondies over the top. Browned butter is mixed with white chocolate, maple syrup, a touch of cream and a pinch of flaky sea salt. The sauce is optional but it brings some life to the blondies.

Any time I make these blondies, I end up snacking on the mix-ins because I have no will power. But it gets me excited for the blondies to finish baking!
