Chocolate Chip Cookies and Blondies {One Recipe, Two Amazing Desserts}
It’s no secret that I love to bake. I make cookies for my class at least once a week. As I was making the batter for my cookies yesterday, I thought to myself, “What else can I do with this batter?” I was definitely tired of making cookies. I thought about it for a minute and then it hit me…why not make blondies?? But alas, I had already made the cookie batter. Then it hit me again…just use the same batter! So, feeling like I was some kind of mad scientist, I decided to put the cookie batter into a baking pan instead of scooping out cookies and guess what? They came out AMAZING! I took the chocolate chip blondies to class and they were well received. I even packaged two of them up for my professor for Teacher Appreciation Week. Here is the fabulous recipe for making either chocolate chip cookies or blondies, or both! Enjoy!

Thanks Bobbie! I make treats for my classmates and they usually like them all. These were gone within the first 2 minutes that I got to class so I guess that means they were really amazing!
