Wrinkles!! There is something oddly pleasing about this picture of the Golden Brownies I made for my Mother in Law (MiL).
There isn’t much that my MiL needs. She is comfortable and enjoys shopping so why take that away from her? I do know her weakness. Sweets. Practically anything sweet.
I know she likes blonde brownies and we have purchased some from the bakery for her in the past. I thought to myself, how hard can they be?
I was pleased to find that the recipe was pretty simple. I followed this recipe exactly because I don’t know what they are supposed to taste like. I think it is somewhat of a sin to remove the chocolate from.brownies–but this is good to know for Mah Gurl who is allergic to chocolate.
Apparently I did a pretty good job, because I had to fight Kit off of the pan full of brownies until I was sure I had enough to pack up for his mum.
Please note my Christmas paper plates double stacked and put into plate gift bags. This is as fancy as I get.
I am officially renaming these GOLDEN BROWNIES. I think it sounds prettier.
