Gingerbread Blondies
Recipes
Can you smell it? Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger…that’s the telltale scent of a holiday fave: gingerbread.
While gingerbread houses are being built and gingerbread men are being decorated in kitchens everywhere right now, @sokoskitchen offers a fresh take on this holiday must-bake.
Gingerbread blondies are just another way to get your gingerbread fix. This recipe uses Local Hive Honey instead of brown sugar for a unique flavor, plus it makes them chewier in texture (the best way to savor this flavor).
You can pick your favorite varietal and see how it amps up your gingerbread blondies.
What is a blondie, anyway? A blondie is a brownie made with brown sugar vs cocoa, giving them their lighter, or blonder, color.
Did you know? The oldest recorded gingerbread recipe dates back to the 16th century and is kept in the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, also known as the “Gingerbread Capital of the World.” Gingerbread “lebkuchen” (cookies) from Nuremberg have a protected geographical indication (PGI) from the European Union, which means a product’s features or reputation are attributable to its geographical region (think Champagne and France).
