ULTRAyummy Blondies?! I love blondies but they are usually too gooey or
too cakey.

Do you share recipes?

Do you trade them for fabric?

see how easy this is?

The recipe isn't really mine to share, it belongs to Ghirardelli. =)


Ghirardelli Classic Blondies:

2 bars (8oz) Ghir. white chocolate baking bars (I use 2C white
chocolate chips)

1/2 C unsalted butter

2 eggs

1/3 C sugar

1 T vanilla

1 1/4 C flour

3/4 t salt

1 C Ghir. milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Line 9x9 baking pan with waxed paper, then grease
the paper. (I've also used parchment paper with good results)

Cut white chocolate and butter into small pieces. In double boiler,
melt white chocolate and butter. Stir until smooth, and then set aside.


In separate bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Slowly add sugar while mixer
is running. Add vanilla. In a thin stream, add white choc/butter
mixture. By hand, fold in flour, salt, and chocolate chips. Spoon into
prepared pan.

Bake 25 mins, until tester inserted in center comes out clean.

If you're careful, you can lift the whole thing out of the pan by
holding the waxed paper just right. I usually make a double batch, in a
9x13 pan, and the timing then is more like 30-35 minutes. I like how
the centers come out... almost like fudge!

I don't know what all this "blondies have no chocolate" is about ...
even if we get past the whole "is white chocolate really chocolate"
bit, every blondie recipe I've heard has chocolate chips. YMMV, of
course.

Bar cookies kinda like a brownie. But not chocolate. Think chocolate
chip cookie dough without the chocolate...kinda a brown sugar, buttery,
chewy, bliss, drool, drool, drool.



What's the point? The only reason to eat a brownie is the chocolate. *grin*


I sort of see your point, but when you ahve to limit chocolate intake
'cos of the migraine effect blondies are wonderful.

tried the new scharffen-berger extra dark or milk chocolate yet?


Can't do milk chocolate, and I haven't seen the extra dark at Nugget yet.
But I'll sure look on Thursday when I go to Whole Foods!!! (great, now I'm
drooling on the keyboard.)



And here I am, answering myself again. I had a minute to kill, so I went to
Scharffenberger's web site. Took the virtual tour, and had LOTS more drool
on the keyboard.

Reasonable accuracy. I think I'm there! My shapes come out close to what I
intended, and mostly recognizable. OK, the doodling as design practice

makes
sense. I'll give it a try. But anytime you want to come over, and doodle
with me so I can see what you mean, come on over!


Oh, so tempting. I'm hankering for a road trip... 3000 miles ought to be
just about right! LOL

Get ready for chocolate overload. http://www.chocosphere.com

I just got in some of the El Rey milk chocolate, some Valrhona darks, and
some Guittard white and dark chocolates.

Now, if only I could smell and taste properly, I could start candymaking!

if you can draw it on the paper you can quilt it? does not work for
me... I guess I have a lot more control of my hand than of the quilt
sandwich (that is good, right?) )

Okay, get out your sketch pad and pencil. (Another free professional tip for
you!) Start doodling without lifting your pencil from the paper. If you can
draw it on the paper, you can quilt it.

Once you get control of your machine and can make the quilting go where you
want, paper and pencil is a fabulous way to practice new designs. What
you're teaching your brain is where to go next and when to zig and when to
zag. I have several sketch books (one for work, one for home, and one needs
to go back in my purse) so I can jot down ideas whenever the inspiration
strikes. Plus, if you're doodling, and someone asks what you're doing, and
you say "I'm practicing my quilting", they pretty much leave you alone, with
only the occasional odd glance. (Muttering to yourself will put the icing on
the cake.) *grin*

I understand this practice method for long-arm quilting, but isn't the
equivilent for regular machines to hold the pencil still and move the paper?
How can doodling help me figure out how to quilt on my machine?

Now, that is a fun tour in real life -- and free! You can smell the
chocolate as you pull into the parking lot. Oh, and did you know they
sell 10 lb bars? We go through a bittersweet one every year.

when we going?
