It’s Friday! Treat yourself. Even though blondes are the less popular cousin of the brownie, I actually prefer them. Not as rich and just as tasty, blondies have always been a favorite of mine. These super easy, delicious chocolate chip blondies are the perfect splurge. Not only are they gluten-free, they don’t have that much sugar or any refined ingredients. A sweet treat you don’t have to feel too guilty about! Serve warm with a glass of milk, of course.
