So, after a spate of cookies with cornmeal, sesame seeds, and thyme, my husband requested that I make some more -ahem- traditional cookies. I think really he just wanted something that really satisfied his sweet tooth. I may have gone too far in the other direction. These are basically diabetes and a root canal in bar form. Oh... but they're so good.
So far, these look pretty normal, right? Only blondies, with maybe some chocolate chips in there. Nothing too crazy. Just wait. Here it comes:
Bam! (I kind of hate myself right now. Emeril drives me nuts. I can't watch his show.) Here's what goes on top (clockwise from the top left... since there are so many) chopped caramels, mini marshmallows, walnuts (Martha wanted butterscotch chips, but they're gross, so I opted for nuts instead), white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips. Half go into the batter and half go on top.
And. Oh. My. God. Seriously. I'm about going into a sugar coma just thinking about them. These are really really really yummy. Luckily I gave away about half of them before I ate too many. I kind of made these as a knee-jerk reaction to my husband's comment that I hadn't made any sweet cookies in a while, and I didn't really expect to love them. But, dang, they are fantastic. You should make them. You could even switch out all the toppings for things you like, because the batter itself is really good. Dried fruit? Coconut? Nuts? Too many options!
