So, when I was trying to narrow down my holiday baking recipe ideas that I was going to share with you this fall, I was thinking back to what I posted last year and what was popular. These Brown Sugar Pecan Cookies were immediately popular, so I was trying to think of some variations I could do with this whole “brown sugar pecan” theme. So, blondies. Obviously. I am a big fan of the Brown Sugar Pecan Cookies, but I have to say…. I like these even more. Know why? Because blondies are Christmas cookies for moms with 10 month old babes around their legs, wiping snot on their yoga pants. But seriously. I love a good cookie (I love many, many cookies). But taking the time to roll cookies out and bake pan after pan? Not as awesome. Bar cookies? That’s where it’s at. I was always one of those people who refused to call a bar a cookie, but I’ve totally changed my tune this year. Bars are Busy Mom Cookies — spread it in a pan and bake! And so you might just see a few more “bar cookies” popping up over here during this holiday season (like these Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Blondies?)…. And I have to say, I don’t mind!
