blondie? brunette-y?


okay, so i didnt take this picture. jessica did, at jay's party last week. but she posted it on facebook, and so i have stolen it and am hoping that she doesnt mind. i did, however, bake the blondies in the picture!!

so these are from martha stewart's cookie book. i got home late friday evening, and needed to bake something to bring to jay's housewarming! so i searched through my martha stewart cookie book to find something that both sounded tasty, and would be something i could bake with what i had in my kitchen. i settled on 2 recipes: either martha's pear pistachio blondies, OR her cream cheese blondies. A quick poll next door said to go with the fruit and nut version. I, of course, had to alter the recipe, as I have with everything I've tried from martha's cookie book so far (not too many recipes).

and so i made cranberry pecan blondies! would have done walnut, but i already had the pecans chopped, so. blondies, with cranberries, pecans, and crystallized ginger mixed in, baked in a tart tin/pan. martha cuts them in little slivers like pie pieces, but i cut in a grid so the pieces would be smaller and easier to hold.

mmm tasty! next time, i think i want to put a little chocolate in...just a little bit, under the surface, to add a little more sweetness and a chocolatey surprise once you take a bite. mmm.
