Blondes Have More Fun

It's been busy for me lately. I finally found an apartment and signed a lease this week! It's been over a month of trying to find a place to live and I can finally breath a sigh of relief.

However, today was a really long day at work. I literally found myself driving around in circles, no really in circles, Dupont circle to be exact. I am terrible with directions and after driving and dropping off items to restaurants for 4 hours I needed a pick me up.

Solution? Blondies of course.

I read Jenna's post on blondies and I have been thinking/dreaming about them since. Tonight was the night.

You can't go wrong with toffee, I adore toffee.


Toffee and cookie dough


Chocolate, toffee, salty baked goodness


Can you really resist?


You should make these now. It could turn your whole day around.

Cream the butter with the brown sugar until a smooth paste. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Add the salt and flour until all is combined.
